Finished a lovely new shawl

I found Marly Bird's No Stopping Me Now shawl pattern and fell in love. Bought some Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable for the project. Colors I chose were Winery and Tidal. I think they are really pretty together!

The shawl was fun to crochet but the yarn makes it very difficult to rip out mistakes. But the finished product is lovely.

In progress
Finished except for running in the ends

This shawl is comfy to wrap around my neck for some color and a little warmth.

About to do some sewing

I was just hired as an office specialist (secretary) and need to beef up my professional wardrobe. I have a few patterns/fabrics ready and bought a few more at Joann's Fabrics yesterday.


100% Rayon, making the view on the bottom left. Pretty aqua and white fabric.

Making the view on the bottom left for this one, as well. 100% rayon, purple, pink, and aqua.

Knit for view on left, 94% poly, 6% spandex

Another Garter Stitch Shawl Completed!

Finished another MarlyBird Garter Stitch Shawl, this time for a belated birthday gift for my Grandma Hulda.

I chose colors that I hope she will love! All colors from Vanna's Choice yarn by Lion Brand.

The purple is a bit softer in person


Completed section two in this photo - on to seed stitch and i-cord bind off
All done except for running all the ends in!
