Hollywood Legends

Since my last post, I was determined to find a shawl pattern to cast on

as soon as the socks were off the needles.

I was doing some 'window shopping' on the pattern page of Ravelry and

the Lana shawl caught my eye.

The designer is Paulina Popiolek, a favorite of mine.

I've knitted Cameo last summer from Paulina's designs.

Looking closer at Lana, I realized that it's part of a collection of three shawls named after Hollywood Legends. The two other shawls, Ida and Ava, are equally as beautiful.

The price is reduced if you buy all three of them during the month of May...so why not!

I could not have decided which one I prefered anyway.

So, (ahem), the socks are not done but Lana is on the needles.

 

 

The socks will get done along with the shawl.

 

The car is all packed up and I'm leaving shortly for a week of fun learning with Maggie Vanderweit.

Here is what her profile says on the school's website
