Okay, here's the next installment of the Eden Prairie Shawl. You will note that I added another rectangle of garter stitch. My next knitting will be to add another rectangle to the right-hand side using Petite Madison in color Agean. When that is done, another diamond will be knitted between the two rectangles.

With the exception of modular knitting this is a very easy shawl to knit and you can make the colors as spectacular or reserved as you wish. For this shawl I went for contrast and subtle.

Got a good start on the Eden Prairie shawl by Nancy Whitman. This is a good example of modular knitting if you've not ever tried it. Lots of garter stitch in between the necessities of modular.

I'm knitting with Petite Madison by Prism Arts. It really has a wonderful hand. Stop by and take a look.

I've just starting knitting the third section which is the color Platinum will be on the left-hand side of what you see in the photo above. Long rows of garter which is easy knitting. I will take another photo tomorrow.

I've started knitting the Eden Prairie shawl by Nancy Whitman. I'm using Petite Madison by Prism Arts. I will take a picture as soon as I have a bit more knit. But if you stop by this weekend for the Memorial Day Sit and Knit you can see it 'in action'. This project is a good exercise in Modular Knitting.

Here's one of the samples to give you an idea of what it looks like.
