Throwback Thursday: The First Shawl

It's time for another Throwback Thursday! With the blog turning 10 later this year I'm looking back on some of my favorite projects from the last ten years.

So, if you've been reading this blog for longer than, like, a day, you know that I love shawls. I love knitting shawls. I love designing shawls. There's a lot of shawls on this blog.

And now I've written the word shawls so many times it's starting to look weird.

Anyway, what was the first shawl? I really couldn't remember. I always tell people that Ishbel is the pattern that really started the obsession, but I knew that wasn't the first shawl I'd ever made.

A little research on the blog and Ravelry revealed the answer to my burning question. The first shawl was the Forest Canopy Shoulder Shawl!

 

I remember now that I really struggled with the pattern. I was just tying to learn to read charts. But I'm glad I stuck with it.

It's the sock yarn shawl that started it all! :)
