This is the second pattern I have knit from the e-book, Be Mine and I am impressed with the quality of Rose's pattern writing. Very clear and clean instructions….and I love the finished shawls. If you are looking for nice shawl patterns, this is definitely a good choice.
Ashley has a little break right now from her master's studies, so when I asked if she might come home today for a photo shoot and she said yes, I was thrilled. I don't get to see her nearly as much now that her life has become so busy… it is nice to have the opportunity to spend an afternoon with her.
Courtney and I were having our hair done this morning at the salon and Ashley surprised us by showing up there earlier than I expected her. I so enjoy watching sisters enjoying each others company…..it's the best part of having children!
I started out casting on for the largest sized shawl, but as I was knitting along, I kind of felt that it was going to be wider than I wanted it to be, so I stopped at 3 repeats of the shell pattern. It was a wise choice. Personally I like to wear a shawl of this type wrapped around my neck over a sweater or under a jacket, so the medium sized version would be perfect for this shawl. I really enjoyed knitting this shawl…it had a very soothing rhythm to it.
Of course I couldn't resist this last photo opportunity….
Bzzzz….

Beautiful shawl, Kim!
It’s nice to know that sisters reach a point where they enjoy each other. My four girls are still at the point where they fight just because one looked at another the wrong way! Uggh . . .

Lovely shawl — and a gorgeous “neutral” green color.

Loved the shawl — the border lace is so unusual. I am still trying to figure out if I would enjoy a shawl/scarf of that size. guess the best way to figure that out is to knit one. Better get busy! Jo
