If you can knit in the round and don't have fear of taking scissors to your knitting after it's complete, this is an very easy mindless project with lovely results. My Melody will probably end up being a scarf most of the time, but either as shawl or scarf, she adds just a lovely light layer of extra warmth for cooler spring and summer days and nights.

Normally I find variagation in a yarn to be a negative, but for this project, it results in an almost impressionistic watercolor effect that is absolutely perfect for the garment.
