Around the Corner

Brian Smith has a new shawl pattern out. Brian's patterns are well written and easy to knit.
This asymmetric shawl starts at a corner and increases and decreases create the width and the angle of the stocking stitch pattern. Then working on just one side the pattern moves, “Around the corner”.
You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry...

If you can knit and purl then you'll be able to make this shawl.
Stitches used  
Stocking stitch, with a garter ridge every ten rows  
Kfb:Knit into front and back of next stitch  
SSK:Slip two stitches separately knitwise, then put left hand needle through front of loops and knit together  
P2tog:Purl next two stitches together  
K2tog:Knit next two stitches together
The yarn is Debbie Bliss Rialto Luxury Sock. You need two balls - one each of two different colours.

The sample is knit with Wilderness and Beniccasim

There are new colours of Rialto Luxury Sock. 
A beautiful wool blend which comes in rainbow shades with a touch of tweed.
I took them outside (it's beautiful out today) to get pictures of the whole ball.

Find Your Fade had a quick bath this morning and it will be blocked tonight. Pineapple Soak was the scent of choice today. The laundry room smells great.
