Haruni Shawl by Emily Ross

I've had the Haruni Shawl pattern on my mind to knit for some time now.  I really liked the look of it.  But for some reason kept putting it to the back of my mind and knitting others instead.  Don't really know why, it could have been the fact that there were 15 pages to this pattern or that I didn't really like the picture on the front.  But those reasons are what I would like to call wrong. 
So two weeks ago I bit the bullet and started to spin some of my blueberrypie 19 micron merino fleece that I purchased from RoseHavenFarmStore in Picton, Ontario  What a dream to spin this fleece, just like butter and this is the third fleece that I bought from this store and it has all been well worth my money.
The Haruni Shawl Pattern is a freeravelrydownload and well worth trying!  I really enjoyed the knit.  The pattern was clear, hense the 15 pages, her notes filled you in on anything that might go wrong and there were written instructions in case you aren't familiar with following the charted instructions.  I used the written instructions.  There was one little minor glitch on row 17 where the edge stitches change a bit but if you read the notes it is all explained.  I didn't have to go searching thru Ravelry discussion boards to find the answer.  And I didn't need a safety line.  Didn't make too many mistakes either. It was difficult enough to keep it from being boring but not difficult enough to make one want to set it aside either. In the end you will have a very lovely shawl or scarf  for very little effort.  That works for me.  Oh and Emily Ross states in her pattern that if a person wanted to sell the shawl that would be okay too as long as a link was posted back to the pattern, I've never seen that before.  Humm now there's an idea!
 This pattern receives 5 out of 5 stars from me.
