Memories Down Candy Lane

Memories Down Candy Lane began when I fell in love with this bright pink skein of sock yarn that instantly reminded me of Pop Rocks candy. I grew up in the small town of Boulder City, Nevada. During summer break from elementary school, my mom would give my sister and me a dollar each, and with our neighborhood friends, we used to walk over a mile to buy candy at the 7-11 store. I remember buying Pop Rocks, tearing open the package and dumping it all in my mouth. I would feel the bubble and pop of the candy and think that was so cool!

Memories Down Candy Lane is a biased, asymmetrical triangular shawl that is worked top down. The biased, asymmetrical triangular shape is achieved by increasing two stitches at the beginning and decreasing one stitch at the end of each right-side row.
