Details: My basic 'Dishcloth' Shawl pattern using size 11 circular needles. Approx width is 60 inches + a 5 inch fringe.
Yarn: mainly Lion Brand Homespun in red (I think the name was 'Chili Red'), Cascade 220 in purple, and assorted fancy yarns in multi colors and textures. I love making these shawls because it is just straight knitting with a yarn-over at the beginning of each row -- mindless and relaxing. Also, throwing in different yarns helps keeps it an interesting knit. This is an easy project to pick up and knit a row or two -- and before you know it -- you have a shawl !
By the way, I did not realize how difficult it was to photograph a red shawl at 9:30pm in my living room with two cats 'supervising' !!
And, is it just me or do you think in the above picture, the shawl looks a little like a bird ?? !!
