I’ve lost count of the number of shawls I’ve made with this pattern. It may be boring to work on, but it is perfect for textured yard. I’m happy to have a place to donate it; it has already gone to the church and it didn’t sit long (if at all) in their donation bin.

A trio of scarves
I had one ball each of these three yarns. Although three balls are enough for a shawl I didn’t think the three colours would go together all that well. So I made three different scarves in different sizes.
The darker blue is quite a wide scarf, the lighter blue is narrower and longer. The purple was narrower but not as long as it should be for a scarf so I joined the ends together to make it into a cowl.
These three pieces will be donated.
Shawl and Scarf
I love this textured yarn for my triangular shawl pattern. I admit though that it is rather boring when it comes to knitting it. I thought I it was large enough with a little more than a skein left so I ended it off and knit a matching scarf.
The shawl will be a donation to the Church for their Prayer Shawl Ministry. They have always welcomed my contributions and have even offered me yarn if I need it – I definitely don’t!
The scarf will be set aside for donation to the Salvation Army in honour of Mum’s birthday. It thought a scarf was more appropriate to their clientele than a shawl.
Scarf Redo
The arm-knitted scarf we made in memory of Lynne is one that I’ve had more compliments on than anything else I’ve ever made. Go figure – and to be truthful none of us really knew what we were doing.
When we were heading to Victoria I decided I’d wear it – the colour went well with both my Pollen sweater and my coat. Sadly, when I looked at it carefully, it was looking more like Roberta’s than anything anyone would compliment me on.
I managed to pull the arm-knitting apart and worked it up into a drop-stitch scarf. Because I liked the way the “old” scarf wrapped around my neck a couple of times I decided to finish the scarf in a circle.
I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet but I think it will be just as fashionable and I’ll still have the memory of making it.
