We took a short trip up to New England to visit with family and friends in advance of the holiday season. We got to catch up and share food with our friends and family. I say short trip, because we were only gone four days, but it meant hours and hours of driving. I worked on this crochet shawl along the way.
There was also coffee.
This shawl is based on the
Cakes Two to Tango shawl
. But, when you get to about 30 repeats (60 rows) you begin to work back and forth on the bias. It results in a slightly different shape.
It's the same great fabric and color fun, but with a long shawl instead of a triangle shawl.
Since I finished that one, I picked up some more yarn at the local big box store and got to work on another shawl. This one is loosely based on Stephen West's Dotted Rays (knit) shawl. I'll share it when it's done even if it looks a hot mess.I fear it won't look as good in execution as it is imagined.
