Beautiful shawl. I've seen this before, but in Suri Dream it is a dream for sure. Gorgeous work.

Also wanted to share this knit from Wool of the Andes in Tulip. I call it the Shawl of Falling Leaves and Shooting Stars:

It's hard to choose since I haven't played with all of them but so far, my favorites (can't pick just one...) are, Comfy (all), Stroll sport sock yarn, Stroll sock yarn and the Bare wool/nylon blend sock yarn. I never knew that Kool Aid dyeing could be so fun :)

I'll be trying the hand painted Stroll in a day or so (can't wait).

I have been buying, and trying to use, a lot of KP yarns. By far one of my favorites has been the Stroll Hand Painted. I just finished a scarf with the Make Me Believe colorway and have to say it it sure has turned out wonderful. Everyone who has seen it (non knitters) want it. The color changes are so nice and it kept me knitting just waiting to see the colors change. I have ordered a few more skeins and am trying some of the Imagination Hand Painted as well. Also bought some new Zephyr needles but have not had a chance to use them yet.

I've been wanting to try some of the Stroll Hand Paints, too, but have not seen anything knit up in it until now. Wow! The scarf is gorgeous! OK, I'm sold. You will love the Zephyrs, too... I am knitting a scarf with them right now, and they are so light and just fantastic to use... the points are very nice. susan

Thanks Susan, I have had many people message me on Ravelry asking what the yarn was as I had forgot to list when adding the project. I am going to try the Zephyrs out over the next week while at my sisters cottage up in northern MI, I love it up there, no distractions which equates to lots of knitting time.

I started a cowl yesterday, and am alreay 1/3 the way through using the Zephyrs... they are marvelous... especially is the yarn is on the dark side... I using a dark purple... they are working marvelously..

I'm thinking of getting the yarn for another project I have coming up in the near future... your scarf is gorgeous.

Thanks Maureen, I know what you mean, after I had half of it knitted I decided to order some more and trying to pick which colors was difficult! I have a great pattern for one of the new skeins I can not wait to start. As for the pattern in the picture, it is the Crest of the Wave, free pattern on Ravelry. Good luck with choosing! Would love to see what you choose if you knit the pattern.
