Two Really Simple Shawlettes Make My Favorite Shawl

By -

 I knit up two Really Simple Shawlettes Pattern:  Aitch Creatives.  
It is a free Ravelry pattern.
 I used less than two skeins of Schaeffer Superwash Lola.

Then I copied something I saw a bit ago, and put the two shawls together.  
The finish is fun.
You don't have to tie anything and it sits perfectly on your shoulders. 

I crocheted the One seam that links the two shawls.
You cannot see it from the right side. 

I'm super happy with this knit.

I will knit another someday. 
I think it took me 11 years to find a shawl I really love. 

Oh and the Cubs won again last night. 
Somebody pinch me!

Looks really good! I am making some little shawlettes that I enjoy. One day I want to knit a shawl shawl - one that you can wrap around and stay cozy!

Love the colors! I'm knitting a garter stitch version of a Farose shawl that is shaped to hug the shoulders. I'm about half way through. It has a curved bottom - for some reason I don't like triangle shawls on my body: they don't look right.

I tried that once, but the two I had were more mis-sized than I thought. Yours is beautiful.

Maybe your "lucky" shawl helped the Cubs win! You'll have to wear it for every game from now on. LOL

 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...
