Midge's Malabrigo Shawl
Alane's friend Midge lives in Kamloops but she gets a spot here because she recently knit a scarf/shawl with yummy Malabrigo silky Merino yarn from GBOW Alane sent her, along with a pattern from Ravelry.
The pattern was, basically, very easy, but is a dropped stitch one which requires a leap or two of faith. Also, Midge reported that the Malabrigo was "grabby"...it had to be coaxed to run.
So, here is the knitted scarf.
And here is what you do at the end.
Yes, you drop stitches and pull them aaaaalll the way to the beginning. Oh, that is a hard thing to do!
And it ends up looking like this.
That is Midge on the left wearing her lovely dropped stitch shawl, with her sister Jen, at the Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon. Colour coordinated and styling, ladies!

What a great scarf/shawl. Midge didn't tell me about this but it's cool. And yes, those two do coordinate well. Thanks for posting this.
I knit a Chantal Shawl with that very same Malabrigo yarn. Delicious to knit with! Glad to see it out there giving joy!
Hi Nigel....The Northern Sunshine Coast Sock Knitters and Sockistas are anticipating a super fun Socky Workshop with you later on this month.
We're thinking a workshop on 'Heels' of the knitted variety would be welcome.
Can't wait....Roisin
Wonderful work, Midge - as a non-knitter I stand in awe. And thanks, Alane, for putting a description of its challenges on the blog!
