I’ve been eyeing the Milkweed shawl for quite a while, and when I was spinning up my lovely Pigeonroof Studios handspun, I realized that the sport0weight yarn would be quite lovely in this pattern. The outcome is quite lovely. Even before the blocking, it had great bones:

Originally, this was going to me for me, but then I found someone even better to own it. Can’t wait for that person’s reaction!

It’s even prettier in person! I really like how the garter stitch works with the handspun.
Oh very nice!
I’ve been wanting to plant milkweed in my yard this year. (I know this isn’t totally relevant, except in regards to the name of the pattern). It grows wild in Madison, but there’s none on our property. I think it would be neat to see all the monarch caterpillars feasting in our own back yard!
