All of a sudden, I am into knitting with color.  I don't know how long it will last, however, I am going to embrace it while I can!  

This pattern has intrigued me for a while.  I found the fade and the marling to be quite addicting.  So much so that I truly had a hard time putting this project down.  It took me 5 days to knit this.  

All of the yarn I used was from my stash.  I have a lot of singles from the KnitCrates I used to receive.  I found this to be the perfect use of them!  You hold two fingering weight yarns together throughout.  
While at my friend Susy's house we started looking at her incredible collection of the feather brooch she sells on her site.  True works of art!  

 We thought this was the perfect addition to the Friday Shrug as well as most of my wardrobe!
