My first shawl

Winter is officially here. These pics were taking during the latest snow storm. That’s not flash-we were in the middle of a white out!

Nancy One Skein Shawl

This pattern is so easy and makes for great car knitting. I didn’t think it needed blocking. My version turned out a little smaller and I’m not sure why. But it fits well enough.

At first I wasn’t sure if I was a shawl person. I played around with different ways of wearing it. I like to tie the ends behind my back so I have a sort of shawl/wrap. (I got this idea from Turtlegirl.)
