Summerflies


  Well I worked on this, my first shawl, all summer and finished it just in time for fall. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a hard pattern or anything, it just took longer and longer to do each row the further you went along. By the end there's almost 400 stitches! WHOA!

  Anyway, in general I'm not really a fan of shawls, but this one had a great pattern written row by row and that kept things interesting. Also, I used a worsted weight yarn so mine came out a little bigger and more substantial. Plus it works as a cowl too, which is more my style.

  Want to try this pattern for yourself? Great! It's FREE! You can get it at Holly and Ella Knits or on Ravelry of course. The yarn I used was Berroco Remix™in a sort of off white.
