While I made a Seaman's Scarf and Hat for last year's Christmas at Sea program, the Shaded Triangles Wrap made of Lion Brand Homespun is my first shawl . Knit entirely in garter stitch, it had enough shaping (picking up a new triangle along the side of the current one) to keep me from being bored. I also made it five triangles long, instead of seven and used the balance of the yarn to crochet a broad border of single and double crochet. This broadened the shawl, with the added width providing a more balanced look and also gave it a nice finish. The shade is "Waterfall" and made me think of the Monet poster from an exhibition at the Met.
I remember your first prayer shawl Mary, and it was quite lovely!

ReplyDeleteLoved the new photos of Aug 1st meeting! We all look busy at work and quite focused on our projects. Elizabeth and Marie really did a beautiful job on their shawls. I'd better finish mine, I only have a little to go and then I can donate it to P/S Ministry. Janice
