On my needles – Pawley’s Shawl by Laura Aylor. This shawl is very easy to make, it’s a pattern repeat that’s very easy to memorize. It’s pretty enough, but not too fragile or dressy, that I think it might make a great gift for a couple of people on my list. It uses 1,000 yards of DK weight yarn so I can make it without breaking the bank. I had gotten much farther along on mine and then my Knit Picks cable came unscrewed and I pulled out a bunch of stitches and had to rip way back to get my stitch numbers right. I had thought that I didn’t need lifelines because this is such an easy pattern but . . I was wishing I had put some in.
I’m hoping that one of the projects for Camp Loopy might work out so that I can make another one of these. I have a good bit more to make on this . . it’s a big shawl but such easy knitting.

That color is gorgeous!
Whenever I think I don’t need a life line, I sink! So now if I think I don’t, I do. I hate those hard lessons. 🙂

Judy, love the pattern. I have been looking for a shawl that will cover me. I don’t wear the little shawlettes very well.

Condolences on the naughty cable! I would have been furious, and you seemed so calm about it. It’s going to be very pretty! You’re so right; Laura does create nice patterns!
