Simple Joys Shawl
5May12
Here it is, one of my newly begun knitting projects. This is my own take on the simple double triangle shawl. I was not completely pleased with how the cast on row looked on my last one so I began this one a little differently and I love how it looks. Check out the center, top of this photo. See how is scoops just a bit?. I am pleased.

I like to have a simple, not work, project to work on at church, but as my life has gotten a little crazy, I have expanded that. Now I work on my Sunday knitting all day. I try to make my Sunday project not only simple but also intended for someone else. My last one went to a friend who is going through a particularly nasty divorce. This one will likely go to one of our church's chaplains who is interested in starting a knitting group with a focus on comfort shawls for sick and/or needy parishioners. I have volunteered to coordinate this effort. I thought I would write this pattern up and share it with the group (and post it here, of course).

This last weekend was a bit traumatic for me. Our youngest went away on a church trip. This is the first time he has gone away without me (I have gone away without him but that is different). I was a bundle of nerves all weekend. He, on the other hand, was fine. He had a wonderful time, made wise choices, and took good care of himself (he has asthma and is recovering from bronchitis). He did so well, in fact, that I may have to let him do it again. Sigh.
