I made this for Myself

    About

    I had said that I would tackle beaded knitting when I retire. Then, 2 years ago, within 2 weeks, I discovered this shawl and learned that a LYS was offering a class to make it. I gained so much confidence going through this process!!!

    Now, I look for people to gift with beaded shawls because I am hooked on them. One day, I'ld love to sale some.

    Knitting this project also made me realize I need to make time for myself. When working on it, I was more peaceful and smiled - even through the picot edging!

    The dates given here are for the Moondust coloured shawl. I love it so much, I knitted another one (for myself also) in thinner yarn as a summer accessory.
