I found this free pattern on Ravelry... some of the pics of other people's projects were so inspiring. It was actually designed to use up "scrap" yarn from other projects. I love how vibrant and festive it looks with the yarn I had dyed for my sister! It reminds me of the older "Fiesta Ware" dishes that my sister collects.

If you check out the pic of the yarn below, I have decided that the yarn on the right will be next and I will finish the shawl with the yarn in the middle. I think those hanks flow best into one another. This is the yarn that I bought at The Fold in Marengo, IL and was custom dyed by Cathi Nuelle of www.StoneBarnFibers.com

When I first saw this the words of a nursery rhyme came to mind - 'Oranges and Lemons'. Just the colours to brighten up the winter. Lucky sister.
