Oh yeah baybeeeeee. Koigu and Silky Wool will be a Shadow Shawl all for me! I just have to finish my dang Sockapaloooza socks first. Click the pictures to see them bigger. Isn’t that purple gorgeous? Who else wants to make this with me? Who has made it?? Almost everyone at the shop has made it and I’ve wanted to make one for a long time. And I just had to buy some more Koigu right? I don’t think it’s possible to have too much purple now is it?

Sorry, I just bought enough Koigu to make Charlotte’s web. And that will keep me busy for a while.
Ooo-la-la! Gorgeous! You can’t have too much Koigu. You ESPECIALLY can’t have too much purple Koigu.
That koigu matches your blog’s background pattern exactly. Just sayin.
Luvit!
No mofo shawls for me, especially since I haven’t finished my SISTER’s!!!
Chris beat me to it… but I won’t join you in making the shawl, since I need to watch my weight, so to speak, yarn-wise, and my project queue is already a mile long. It looks lovely, though.
In case you are wondering how the above statement squares with just having bought Koigu from you, I am using Harlot’s rule that buying sock yarn doesn’t really count as buying yarn. As long as I actually plan to use it for socks. Something like that.
You’ll have fun with that pattern. But I’m sticking to my shapely shawlette this time!
That’s gorgeous.
I think I can be persuaded to knit that…..I’ll go check my stash right now. I think I have some bright red koigu……
It’s pretty, but I’ll have to bow out of your challenge. I just don’t have the shoulders for it. lol It would look great on you for the next spa excursion, though.
That’s going to be wonderful :o)
yum yum yum! purple and black?! koigu and silky wool?! died and gone to heaven?! (warning… bad pun follows…) or do i mean “dyed”? (couldn’t resist.)
that’s going to be as swank as you!
Ohh I love the color combo - Purple happens to be my fav. too!
That’s going to be gorgeous!
MMmm, yummy! No, there’s no such thing as too much purple!
That’s gorgeous!
Nice combo, that’ll look beautiful!
OMG, you’re gonna be like, the prettiest Scout at camp! (sorry, remnants of a Girl Scout adolescence - grin!)
That Koigu is just amazingly gorgeous, and that shawl? Oh le wow!
Yep - now I have to have that pattern. Thanks alot Scout, I didn’t have enough stuff on my to do list.
I think this is the same technique as the Illusion scarves I’ve been doing. It’s super easy but fun.
There’s no such thing as too much purple! I’ve not seen that pattern before but
now that I think I’m going to have to make it.
love the colors, I want to make it too, but I’ll have to wait as I need to finish my other projects
That is going to be one gorgeous shawl!! Hello? Koigu and Silky wool?! That takes Koigasm to a whole ‘nother level!
Can’t wait to see it… take care! 
That’s really pretty. I will now marry it, plzkthx. What color!
Oh, is that going to be beautiful. Love the purple!
Oh Oh, me, me!
I wanna make it too!!!!
Color me knitting along!
That is too gorgeous! I have same Koigu around here somewhere…
That’s a beautiful project! I can’t wait to see your result!
You KNOW I’m going to make it…even have my yarn already! xx
I made this shawl a couple years ago (I think I have a photo of it in my fo photo gallery on my blog). I made mine out of koigu and Gems Merino and it ended up just great.
The pattern took me a good 50 rows to get the hang of it, but once I got into the swing, it was really fun.
I never swatched for mine and it ended up a bit smaller than I would have liked - I still wear it often. Have fun!
Beautiful, beautiful. Make it a knit along. I would love to join the knit along.
I am so glad we corrupted you. =) Beware: I have heard from many knitters of this shawl that ya can’t knit just one. (And you know where this can lead, don’t you — a shawl and all . . . those little holes called —- lace!)
What a fabulous choice of two great yarns! Can’t wait to see it!
OK…must have that shawl!!! I’m totally in. Do I order the pattern from there? Also, shoot me an email…I have a skein of Vesper you might like (Smoke on the Water) & there is the distinct possibility we could do a swap for some of your beautiful dyed sock yarn!!
It is going to looks awesome!! I love that Koigu color.
oh my…..shawl envy, big time
Ok..just bought my kit for the shawl…as soon as it gets here I’ll be ready to go Scout. So finish that sock soon darlin.
Ohhh, I love those colors for the shadow shawl. That reminds me, I really need to get my butt moving on mine. Only 5 months until I see my grandmother.
OK I said I was’nt going to make it, but I may have to change my mind. The more I see it the more I want to make it. Do you have the pattern at the store, I may go down there this week. I’m still trying to tell myself NO! NO!NO!
