My first shawl! From Martha Waterman's book, Traditional Knitted and Lace Shawls (first edition).
The yarn is Columbia Minerva fingering weight wool I bought at a garage sale for 10 cents per skein. I used five skeins
for a total of 50 cents in materials! Sweet! If I did this again, I would make it bigger.

This shawl is adapted from the Easy Mohair Scarf Pattern (see link below). I made it 8 repeats of the pattern
wide, and it is 7 feet long. This is really nice to wrap up in on the couch--even my husband likes it! The yarn
is a light blue synthetic mohair I had in the stash. I used all the blue until I ran out.

For this shawl, I used Cheryl Oberle's "Lacy Prairie Shawl" pattern from Folk Shawls. This was very easy
to do--I knitted it while helping students in a one-on-one setting. The yarn is an unknown handspun wool I bought at
Workman Farms in Fallon, Nevada. I had a ball about 6" in diameter, and ran out before the top border finished.
It's lovely and warm!
Coming soon: Clapotis!
