Rainbow Receiving Blanket
I have decided to put this little shawl up for sale in my etsy shop as a receiving blanket when complete.

| Invisible cast on in scrap yarn. |
The yarn left on my ball of Kauni was diminishing, so I decided to cast off with an 8 stitch garter border, I cast on the 8 stitches with a piece of scrap yarn (invisible cast on) and just continued knitting on to that. Once I have gone all the way around, I will join it up with kitchener stitch.

| The start of the edge band, using an extra needle. |
I continued with the yarn from the main part of the shawl, it just happened to turn purple straight after the blue.
 |
| Progress with the band so far. |
The band takes quite a while to add. All of these instructions can be found in Elizabeth Zimmermann's book, "Knitter's Almanac".
