Hi Mary,    Here is a shawl that is an easy knit, a simplified faroese shawl, called the Venita Shawl. A great stashbuster! ~Lorna (Peargirl Knits)

Hey, I had to share my shawl that I knitted out of my handspun with my own seascape design. The shawl took about 600 yards. The background is a merino/silk blend with various hand spun art yarns for accents. So to answer today's Facebook question - I knit and spin and sometimes crochet. Thank you for your website.
