South Bay Shawlette

It feels so good to wrap up some of these old WIPs.   Here is a shawl I started a few months back.  I first saw it on Pinterest and followed it to this blog.  I loved how she made it out of a gray DK or worsted? yarn.  If you go on Ravelry, most are made from a fingering, lace, or sock weight.  I just had to copy it!

I crocheted 25 rows with a K hook, using a Tahki wool/cotton blend called Coast.  The pattern called for a final edge of trim, which I didn't add,  just left off on a scalloped row.  However,  I did finish the top neck edge with a row of sc.

I like this one worn Bandit style.  It's got just enough cotton in the fiber to keep me from overheating.    I've tried, and unless it's a lacy type pattern, I just can't wrap myself in pure wool this close to my face.  Must have air.  I bet if I lived on the east coast or back in Canada, I would change my tune, since its so much colder there.

Now since I finished something old, does that mean I can start something new?????

I know. Silly question.

This is going to be a scrap quilt.  I lost the pattern years ago, but thankfully I had given a copy to my mom.  It is a really fun pattern, which requires 3 and 3.5" in squares cut in lights and darks.   You can use your oldest, ugliest material, and it will still turn out great!  In fact I recommend throwing those uglies in there!!
 I will post pictures and the pattern as I go along, in case you are interested in making one.
See you after the weekend : )
