It is Thanksgiving today here in the U.S.  For me it is almost always a very low-key holiday, since I don’t normally observe holidays.

I am, however, giving much of the day to trying a new project.  At the request of a long-time friend, I am working with purple and teal on Plymouth Encore worsted wt. yarn.

It is wide enough to be a long rectangular shawl or wrap (80 stitches wide), but I’m not sure I have it in me to continue this pattern sequence to go 66 or 72 inches in length.

What do you think about this so far?

If I worked a black background and an array of rainbow colored blocks I think it might look better.  But I am thinking I might also change the size/shape of the blocks as the work progresses.  I’m just not sure at the moment.
