'Waiting for Rain' Scarf/Shawl
I really liked the look of this pattern when I spotted it on Ravelry; the mixture of textured garter stitch with inset swoopy panels of lace looked fun and interesting.
I was originally going to make it in just the green-y yarn here, but I didn’t read the yarn requirements carefully enough (😬) so I had to cut it with some grey I had left over from Volt. It works though! Variegated yarn and lace can be a bit too busy, visually, so having the panels plain and the garter variegated is, I think, a nice compromise that shows the best of both.
