If you can stand one more post about the Ruffled Shawl

By -



Oh consider yourself very nice.

As you can see the Ruffle Shawl is a misnomer. There aint no ruffle no more!

I simply couldn't bear to repeat the ruffle on the other side.

I crocheted a simple edge and wove in ends. It is simple.

I showed it to Fireman and he said,

"Oh I liked the ruffle, why didn't you put one on the other side?"

I did not respond.

If Fireman regularly read the blog, he would know by now that I was grieving
and I couldn't bear it.

My sister Deb is modeling it for me to show you.

I am delighted to give it to my Mentor next week.

She's not a ruffly woman anyhow.




I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

beautiful! Lovely! Amazing! You did a great job on this - and a ruffle would have looked to fussy, as I think it is perfect just this way!
Beautiful with the fall leaves as a backdrop - your mentor will be thrilled & speechless! Way to Go!!!

It's a beautiful shawl! It's lovely, warm and cozy just the way it is. The ruffles would just get in the way!! You are not alone, the one shortcoming of my knitting life has been not to do what makes me unhappy--like SHORT ROWS!

It's very nice ruffled or un.

I mailed the blankies out this morning. You should have them Saturday or Monday. Please let me know that they arrived safely.

I love it and I am certain she will too since it was clearly made with love.

My blanket is in the mail too.

What do men know about ruffles? I like it the way you finished it. It looks great. And warm. And full of knitted love.

I like the crochet thing you got going on it. Doesn't really need a ruffle. I always say, "Knitting loves crochet" ...

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
