Straight Forward Shawl

Simple, fast, squishy & beautiful.

Perfect make for those moments you feel stuck. Works up fast and if your kid doesn't drive you mad adding colours on the go (those obviously resulting in yarn-ends for weaving session later) .. i should have just picked some self striping yarn :D and I would have - for her shawl - after I had tested and made one for myself :D (how come I still haven't learned that with tinies around you better not plan too far :D) if she hadn't snatched my yellow scarf and declared it hers! but she did and i rather like her colour choices :)
At the end i crocheted it together to form a cowl so she would have an simple and warm solution not a headache for everyone involved .. she is still just 4 you know :P

Happy shawls

5 done, sent off and well received :)

Each and every one of the five ladies got a different color combination for two reasons: 

1. because those lovely ladies are completely different
2. because it was way more interesting for me :P

If you would like to make one for yourself then head on to the ravelry for pattern and few posts back here for my explanation on how to join it like a cowl..

Happy Shawl in the making

I call it Happy because it's supposed to bring joy to 5 wonderful ladies :)
It was a Facebook giveaway of sorts .. you get one gift and you yourself give 5 gifts spreading the joy all around :)

So I figured who doesn't love a colorful shawl made with love :)
I call them Shawls because I like how it sounds although they are more like cowls because I make a small shawl and join parts of it to make a circle scarf so it resembles wild west neckerchief of sorts :)

I have made this kind of shawlycowl before and pattern can be found on ravelry.

This post is mainly about the transformation from shawl to cowl .. read further if you are interested ;)

Autumny* cowl

* just because of the colors and I'm planning to wear it on winter and spring too :)

The best thing about the autumn is its colors, but they end way too quickly, and then we are left in the darkness for quite a while just waiting for the bright white snow. To prolong the colors and the joy I made a fast cowl (took me just 2 evenings).
