Oh yes, I love to knit them and love to wear them. I keep them in my office and there’s one in every room at home. We keep our house cool so they’re perfect for guests who might feel a bit chilly. In fact, it’s not unheard of for the guest to go home with one, which naturally gives me an excuse to make more. They look great with everything and are such great canvases for yarn and stitch patterns.

I love to knit shawls. I knit my first one for my wedding, and since then I’ve been hooked. I’ve knit about 4 shawls, and I have two on needles right now.

Sheri, what size needles did you use for the MIzzle shawl in Pearl?

I love knitting shawlettes. The only one I wear “all the time” (ie. daily) is Holden Shawlette. It looks great with the point in front and it works with every coat, jacket, sweater I own. LOVE it. I also knitted a Citron in green laceweight Malabrigo that is the exact same color of a fleece jacket I own. The shawl sticks to the jacket like glue–so those two are paired for life and I get a lot of compliments on the “jacket” because people don’t realize it has a knitted shawl stuck to it. They just think it’s a really cool jacket feature.

Just finished Winnowing and although it is gorgeous, can’t imagine ever wearing it. LOL

beautiful shawl finish Sheri – I need to try Pearl – Love LL yarns but have never tried that one. I have que’d that pattern since it was done in fingering weight – have to mark all those that I like for future needs. Hope you have a great week! mel

Love to knit them. Rarely wear them. I usually end up giving them away.

I’ve knitted 3 shawls now for myself. There are 2 more on some needles. When it comes to our winter I intend to wear them instead of jumpers. But even in summer the lighter one is just right in the cooler evening air. Besides people seem to like them and give me compliments. A lady in our sewing group asked me if I was getting
ready to go into the retirement home. I answered her that the shawls were for now.

I do knit them, and I do wear them! I wore my Rock Island on Wed., and LOVE it. I also recently wore Hawthorne, Pagona, Daybreak, Palimpsest and Ulmus (not at the same time of course). Today I’m in a sweater though–Katharine Hepburn. And I just finished the Q1 challenge (Semele), which I hope to block this weekend and wear NEXT week. Huzzah!

I love your Mizzle Shawl! It turned out terrific! And I don’t know why you don’t wear it. It would look terrific on you. The first shawl I made that I wore a lot was my Whippoorwill Shawl (med size). The shape and the simple-to-tie ends make it easy to wear. And it doesn’t “fall” off my shoulders nor end up needing to be fussed with all day either.

I love to knit shawls, I’ve made two in the last month. The problem is blocking.. never have done it.. but need to, to make sure that the shawls look wonderful. I just finished the Multnomah using Dream in Color “Good Luck Jade”… it is so pretty and will be better once I block it. I am so hooked on shawls, I love lace and the more complicated the better.. just too many gorgeous patterns to choose from, and I too… don’t wear them. I will someday… ( sigh)
