The new Darcel shawl feels like a breath of fresh air. It's wonderfully lightweight and filled with color. A lovely lace pattern that gets repeated in this shawl is easy to knit. It takes just a single Ten-spot skein to knit this light as a cloud crescent shaped shawl.
The color changes happen automatically here and you can actually start from either end of the skein, there is no right or wrong.
The pattern is fully written and offers a lace chart as well.
The blocked shawl measures 90" across the bottom edge and 11" in height.

The Vertigo sweater is also knitted the Ten-spot skein, at least in part as they create the colorful stripes shown below.
