Mary, Mary … quite contrary blanket/shawl
Mary, Mary is similar to my Miss Ellie’s Garden … this one is done in cotton (Knit Picks’ Shine Worsted … a dream to knit and touch!), in brighter colors, with all the knitting work done in the round and blocking out larger (66-inches). The colors in this one really make me smile … the bright “Cosmopolitan” and the limey-“Citrine” go together so nicely that I couldn’t resist having them together again at the end.
