My First Shawl
Do you remember this shawl? The one I started back in January 2013? Well, I did finish it, but I never got around to posting photos of it. I loved knitting it through the winter months. I loved looking at those beautiful colors in the yarn.
The pattern is the Simple Yet Effective Shawl, and it was a very simple pattern to knit, even though it seemed like it took me a long time to finish it, and I was surprised by how small it ended up being. It’s almost more like a scarf when you tie it around your neck. But I do love it, and it looks beautiful on my daughter, who modeled it for me. You can find my Ravelry notes here.
It just happened that the shawl coordinates beautifully with my favorite Lilla Rose hair sticks (which I’m wearing today)!
Lilla Rose just came out with this beautiful Dusky Plum collection (only available for the month of September) that will also coordinate well with my scarf for the fall and winter months. I don’t often buy myself a Flexi of the Month clip, but I admit that I bought a clip and a headband this month since they’re very much my style!
Beautiful shawl Joy! And beautiful photos! Thank you for linking up with the Art of Home-Making Mondays this week!
P.S. I just purchased the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle via your link. Blessings…
Thank you, JES! And thank you SO MUCH for purchasing the bundle through my link! I hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying mine!

Beautiful shawl! I must warn – shawls are very addictive!
Thank you, Amanda! I think I'm finding that out about shawls being addictive! 🙂
Joy, your shawl looks wonderful! How funny that I just finished up my very first shawl yesterday! I actually knitted it for my daughter. Now I'm on to one for myself. Looking forward to wearing them this fall/winter.

Thank you, Heather! How neat that you just finished your first shawl! What pattern did you use?
What a beautiful shawl. A work of art! the colors are so warm and nice. I'm knitting a blanket. My old mother knits square pieces of for me. We do it together.
Thank you, Jedidja! The blanket you're knitting with your mother sounds like a lovely project to do together.
Sorry I forgot to tell you how lovely your shawl looks. Great knitting job!!
Thank you!

I hope you like the flexi, Christy–I can't wait to get mine! Thanks for friending me on Ravelry–I'll have to go find your PM!
