Simple Yet Effective

 

 In the hopes that warmer weather might actually appear, I've made myself a lightweight shawl. I used the Simple Yet Effective pattern with some Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn. I wasn't sure I was really going to like the particular colorway I ended up with but I really like the blues and browns. It all came together so nicely.
Although it is technically spring, it has been oh so cold around here. Today was the first day when I didn't feel the need to wear a hat and gloves when I went outside. I actually walked through my yard barefoot. It didn't last though. Hopefully this weather will get warmer and the sun will show itself more often so I can plant my garden!
