Patons Kroy sock yarn - Shawl project

Now that my beautiful socks are finished, I have cast on with the second colour I received, Turquoise Jacquard.
I just love the blue!
I decided to make this pattern, Boneyard Shawl. It's going MUCH faster than the socks, because the needles aren't so teenie tiny, and it's a lot of stockinette stitch. So I don't have to count and keep track of the pattern, I can just knit and watch TV!

Amy's scarf

I wanted to make a handmade gift for our dear friend Amy, who let us stay with her in NYC. I started this Granny Kerchief shawlette before I left, and finished it in New York.
I extended the ends so they were longer and could be easily tied.
I think the navy will look nice with Amy's blond hair.
Plus it's a nice lightweight cotton that she can hopefully wear for many months.
We met during "How to Succeed," so this postcard worked perfectly as a thank you card.
Amy wasn't there when we left New York, so I hid it on top of one of her shelves and gave her instructions on how to find it when she returned to her apartment. I hope she likes it!
