    About

    This was a difficult year for many folks. My friend was one, and I wanted to make a special shawl to give her a "hug" from me whenever she wore it. She showed me a shawl she had once tried to crochet (I know crochet basics, but am a better knitter), and I used it as the inspiration for a cozy shawl. I decided it would be a top-down knit using a tab start. The test-knit looks pretty good. I will be knitting it up over the next few days and will upload pics when it is done! It is fairly simple, the tab start is the only tricky part that might challenge a beginner - so I say anyone can make one of these! #FestiveProjects

    Update: So, life happened and this project had to be shelved; there was a LOT of frogging and re-starts (final form was a bottom-up with increases every 2nd row) Managed to finish and present it before my dear friend, along with her husband, moved away to the Rockies! Think she can get more use out there! Hopefully it will always be like getting a hug from me!
