Thank God for ball winders! This is Knit Picks Shadow, Pink Posey Heather, 100% merino wool. The project is Evelyn A. Clark's Swallowtail Shawl, free here.
I was concerned about starting a shawl as a gift so close to a person's birthday. Beck's is the end of August, which gives me only 4 weeks to work on this beauty. However, now that I've started knitting, it's a joy and just flying by. The pattern, thus far, is easy to memorize with almost no pitfalls. No lifelines needed. I may have to knit 2 of these!
I have one of those started too but it got put on hold for SoS
Love the color

It's beautiful. I hope you can finish in time (unlike me!).

Darn, just lost my comment. I'll try again. You ARE an enthusiastic knitter. I couldn't make that deadline. Just ask my Print O'the wave ;-)
