Rainbow Boomerang

In Fingering weight yarn, Good for gradients, Great for mini skeins, Patterns, Scarves, Shawls & Shawlettes, Shop sample available by Shannon

One day I was playing around with a deep blue skein of sock yarn and a wee rainbow set of minis. I inserted a rainbow into the middle of the garter-y sweep of a boomerang shawl, and could literally hear my rainbow-loving heart go pitter-patter. Now all I want to do is make Rainbow Boomerangs, other projects be damned.
