This easy shawl was knitted with 4-109 yd balls of Crystal Palace 100% Iceland Wool, super bulky weight, "Straw into Gold" colorway on US size 19 circular needles. Fun. I used a basic shawl pattern (just cast on 5 stitches and increase 4 sts on the first and then every other row--increase on the second stitch, increase one on either side of the center stitch, and the next to last stitch) until the shawl is as big as you want, or you run out of yarn. Use whatever stitch pattern you like; for this shawl, I used mostly stockinette because the yarn created it's own pretty design. I added a few garter stitch rows near the end because stockinette curls :).21 February 2008

Mindy, your work is beautiful. I have enjoyed your internet displays. I really do love this shawl, is it big enough to be called an afgan?
I was also wondering if you have been able to keep up with your daily Bible reading??? I have not!! But, I am doing the Stepping UP with the ladies at church on Tuesday morning.
Keep posting your knitting and I also enjoy your other pictures too. It makes me feel like I can know you better, my friend.
Love ya, Gayla
Thank you, Gayla! I have so far been keeping up with my Bible reading, but my internet has been down for a week at home, so I'm not sure I'm where I'm supposed to be . . . I thought getting my dailing reading emailed to me was a great idea, but maybe not.
(The shawl is not nearly big enough to be an afghan.)
Thank you for being one of the most encouraging friends I have!
