Remember this WIP from December? I have been working on this shawlette for a little while and have really enjoyed making something that’s quasi-blanketarian, but a smaller and faster project. It’s like a small half blanket and just as engaging and lovely. I mentioned this once or thrice, but expect more shawl patterns in my future! This cute little linen stitch WIP in Scheepjes SKIES Heavy* is lounging in a glorious yarn bowl*.

Hello, beautiful crafter! Hope you’ve managed to find some moments of peace during the holiday season. We were still reeling from Christmas festivities when the New Year knocked us on our bums..

Scheepjes Skies for My First Shawlette Pattern

Hello! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Hope you are well, and are able to squeeze a bit of hooky in during the busy holiday. I am going to make time to unwind and craft! Lucky me, I have a lovely yarny package to share – it’s two hanks of Scheepjes Skies*, one Light and one Heavy. And guess what! Since I just wrapped up my first ever Mandala design, I decided to go for it on another non-blanket make, and so this yarn will be turned into a Shawlette. Yes! Blanket-obsessed me is making some progress on branching out! Okay, a mandala and a shawlette are still 2-D shapes – a circle and a triangle – but still! Hey maybe one day I will venture out into the 3-D realm and make a hat or a stuffed animal… One step at a time though as just the thought brings my heart rate up lol… I’m super comfy with 2 dimensions. But anyway!! Enough about me, and more about this yarn! There are lots of yummy …
