Marilyn's Shawl

Marilyn's Shawl
October 2018

I started on this project for Marilyn in June or July when one of the ladies (Val) in the Needlers group wanted to try the pattern. Even though it was a knit along, I got distracted with packing and moving, so Val finished her shawl weeks ago.  Somewhere along the line, I unintentionally "altered" the pattern, and the back increases are off (thankfully, I was consistent in the alteration).

Even though the pattern calls for the shawl to be knit to fall at the wrist, I knit it to fall just in the crook of the elbow. That shorter length makes it more comfortable to wear around the house or to cover shoulders while sitting in a chair.

Yarn: Encore Colorspun (Plymouth Yarn)
          Color #7718 - Drifting  (worsted weight)
          I used three skeins for this short version
                (300 grams OR 600 yards )
