Dancing Batty

I listen to the Knitabulls video podcast with Diane and she is quite a lot of fun.  Diane decided to do her first knit-a-long and she chose the Dancing Batty shawl which features bats.


I went through my stash and could not find any appropriate yarn and when I was in Chicago at Loopy Yarns, I found this Madelinetosh merino light in the byzantine color way which is perfect.

I did not want to knit with black yarn and this red with black hue would go perfectly with the black beads for the bat eyes.


The knit-a-long starts on October 1 and needs to be finished by October 31, just in time for Halloween.  I can't wait to get it cast on.
