Wool Peddler Shawl


I made this shawl for my Great, Great Aunt who is 99 year old. She recently broke her upper arm and was recuperating from that break when she fell out of a chair and broke her hip. She is now back in the hospital and has had surgery for her hip. Red is her favorite color. I choose a acrylic yarn just for easy laundry care. The yarn was very soft to knit with but it was also very splity and I have a feeling it will get fuzzy over time.

BYOB



Bring your own bag. Another great Knitty pattern. This was a quick knit . My bag came out super big. I think I should have gone down a needle size. I found the seed stitch worked out a lot looser.
