I love shawls. I don’t know why but I really do. They are the perfect things to drape over your shoulders while watching TV or to go under a coat on a really cold day. Here is the latest one I made. It’s all done with one skein of Lion Brand Cupcake yarn in the Mint Chip color. I love self-striping yarn! It makes it look like I really worked hard. LOL

I like the feel of this new yarn. It works up really nice and the colors are beautiful. The new scarf turned out great….the weight is perfect. And the shawl I started earlier in the week is done. You can see more about it here.

Shawls and Ponchos are making a comeback. We’ll be having classes soon at The Studio to make some really nice ones. This is a shawl I just finished this morning with a simple shell stitch…easy to learn, fast to work up and can be made into a shawl, a scarf or a throw. Watch for a class soon.

A few weeks ago my cousin and several friends share photos with me on Facebook for a really beautiful shawl in crochet. I searched for a pattern but couldn’t find one so I decided to try to make it up. Here is the start. I have lots of embellishments to add to it. The original has lots of flowers and roses. I hope to be able to show you the finished one next week.

I finished my project using the Butterfly Stitch. It worked up quickly and looks nice. I like trying different stitches to see what effects we can get. This one will work well for scarves, shawls, blankets, etc. You can find an easy to follow pattern here.

I am in love with the Caron Cakes self-striping yarn. It’s amazing! I just completed this shawl/wrap out of the Caron Cakes Red Velvet yarn. It’s beautiful and I didn’t change the color one time. It striped all by itself! For those of you who knit or crochet know why I am so excited about this wonderful yarn. Plus it’s soft and the colors are wonderful. The yarn was originally suppose to be available for only 3 months in Michaels Stores as a special Birthday Yarn for the Caron 100th Anniversary. But everyone LOVED it so it’s going to continue to be available. Yeah! I can’t wait to try another colorway.
