Almost didn't make it in time for June...I actually thought today was the first, and was all ready to post this as July, even though I finished last night!!
Just a little short of the 300 yards.....so I made a


headband. Both are made out of Taos # 19....on size 10 needles. I wanted to make a matching raindrop hat...but did not have enough.
Pattern is:
NOTE: THIS THING STRETCHES WHEN BLOCKED...what started out as a 62" shawlette became an 84" scarf. My daughter Sarah will love it, though.
My Mods: Made it a boat shaped shawlette -- Increased for 17 drops ( 8 rows per pattern)…stayed the same for 28 drops, then decreased for 17 drops. Pattern as written is triangular. I ended up with 62 raindrops.
Purple Rain ended up weighing 110gr -- 282 yds ( About 2.2 skeins) and headband added another 32 -- total of 314
**I did so want to make a hat with the left over yarn...just so I could call it Purple Rainhat! ......*I might have enough for a baby hat with little raindrop tassles, though....hmmmmm.... will post as an addendum if I do!!
This color of this wonderfully soft yarn reminds me of boysenberry pie. Yummy. Really yummy.

Wonderful. Lucky Sarah. :) I like the boat shaped improvements and will try to do that with mine as well. Thanks for the info on how to do it.
