I live in a rainforest

After many weeks of limited knitting, my brown Free and Easy Pie Wedge Shawl #3, to go with my brown every day Goretex rain jacket, is finished. Remember my first one?

Goretex is a requirement here. After all, I live in a rainforest.

Where the trees drip with moss:

And the fungi flourish:

A rainforest. It sounds more romantic than it is. 

What is it about this pattern that make me want to start another one right away?

Details:

Pattern: Free and Easy Pie Wedge Shawl (Lorna's Laces)

Yarn: Beyond Basic Knits hand dyed lace weight silk and merino (Zephyr type yarn), about 800 yards. Colourway: Coffee Bean

Needles: US#6

Thoughts: Light as a feather, can be scrunched into a scarf or worn as a shawl. Easy and relaxing with a satisfying finish. Can't wait to start another. Maybe in blue to match my Goretex trail runners.

    Lovely! Now you’ve got me wanting to knit one. I need one more shawl for my 10 in 2010. Any ideas on where to score the pattern?

    I wanted to bring mine along to work on, but I’d lost my pattern and couldn’t remember quite how to do it without. Arrrrgggghh. ‘Wish you were here.

    Love the shawl, and it looks super easy. Where can I find the pattern? I think I’d love to do one in grays or denim blue. The nature pictures are fantastic,
    the wonders we find in outdoors. Have a great weekend!
