I have been wanting a shawl for a long time, and finally I made my first triangle shawl using the yarn that I bought at the Thrift Store! Since the yarns are a collection of mish mash or left over yarn, I was having a bit of frustration trying to find the right pattern and needle size that work together. This particular yarn came in two small balls, with no details of material type. However, I love the color purple in it, so I just went for it.
I tried out different stitch pattern and size hook, and finally this one worked out best once I got the piece large enough to feel and and see. Then I ran out of the yarn balls and my shawl was a bit smaller than I would like.
Lucky for me, in one of bags of yarns that I purchased, there is another ball of deep purple but the material was not yarn, but it was more like tight ribbon. I went for it any way to make the trim. You see, I figure with the trim, I can extent the size of my shawl! And it did!
