Welcome back! It's Week 2 of the Sock-Yarn Shawls II Blog Series. Today I'm going to tell you about Waveland:
I think this is such a sweet little one skein shawl. It's a top down shawl, starting with garter stitch and ending with a small attach-as-you-go lace border. It combines my two favorite things - garter stitch and lace.
I love the way the shawl drapes when worn like a scarf.
I choose a lace panel for the border that is also worked in garter stitch. The edging is so simple, I didn't even make a chart for it in the book. It's super easy to memorize and quick to complete.
Just a few more weeks to go and the book will be here. I look forward to everyone getting one into their hands and knitting bags!
Stay tuned for Thursday, when I show off Cinder. Earlier this week, I showed you a little tutorial on how to do the decorative bind off at the end. In a couple days I'll have lots more photos of the shawl to show you.
