The "Barbie" Shawl

knitknut asked if we could start another shawl, using pink as the main color, so we all agreed. It makes PERFECT sense to start a pink shawl now, because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! :)
knitknut just finished knitting the beginning of the shawl, and mailed it to Nadja la Claire
(Nadja was the recipient of our "Pretty Purples" shawl, and wanted to return the favor! :)
Nadja la Claire just completed her part on the shawl, and we now have a good beginning!
stagebear added her knitting, using a light pink yarn.
Threesmom used a rich maroon-washed yarn.
Shandeh is using two pink fingering-weight yarns by Plassard ("Tendresse" and "Laser"), held together.


The "Candy Shop" Shawl
