Shawl Haul

When I'm knitting, I get into these kicks. I will knit similar items for months.  One year EVERYBODY I knew got socks for Christmas.  Couldn't knit enough socks.  Right now it's shawls.  I love shawls.  Big, small, chunky, lace weight, triangular, rectangular, half circle.  Stripes, solids, variegated, beaded.  There is a shawl out there for every type of knitter.  My favorite kind to wear are shawls bordering on scarves- shawlettes or scarflettes.

After I updated my Ravelry project page, I noticed that I had cranked out 4 shawls in 35 days.  Whoa!
