Sugared Berries Shawlette

If you’re like me then you love buying sock yarns for the beautiful colors they comes in and might have accumulated a bit of a stash. Isn’t it just so easy to walk into a yarn shop and buy just a skein of yarn? You know exactly how much will give you a pair of socks and it’s much less monetary commitment than purchasing a sweaters worth of something equally luxurious. Also, if you’re like me, there’s only just so many pairs of socks that one person can knit and find feet to wear. (Yes, I know, that might have been a scandalous statement.) A capelet or shawlette is a beautiful option for that stashed sock yarn that you’ve been planning to knit for, you know, months and years and… maybe you forgot how long.
