1864 Godey's Knitted Winter Shawl

[LaurieE]

I finally finished the shawl. It seemed to take forever. It's completely done in garter stitch. I used Red Heart Wool (I guess their version of Lion Brand's WoolEase) in blue and white. Part way through, I had to switch to 60" circular needles. The original pattern had fringe along the bottom but I'm not a fringe type of person so I left them off.

Wow! I love yours! I think it's much prettier than the one in the pattern.

Red Heart makes wool??? How did I miss that?? If you don't mind me asking where did you find the wool?

[LaurieE]

The yarn was given to me so I think it's old. I've done Google searches and can't find any mention of it. Not even on the Coats & Clark website.

Guess I didn't need it I am developing a serious wool addiction

Very nice shawl!

 

Yes, Red Heart used to have wool yarn. I'm not sure how long ago...it's too bad that they still don't, it was nice yarn. I have found it at yard sales occasionaly....I snap it up when I see it!
