The shawl has a really simple shape, and again it starts as a scarf, or rather a long strip. the size is up to you really, mine is about 35x220 cm - you can see it back here
Remembering Meg, I made a little paper mock-up in order to show you how it's done. Have fun!
Thank you for the paper mock up, but I still have questions about this shawl/scarf. Aside from the seam to turn the long rectangular piece into a loop, is it stitched anywhere else? How do the bottom half of the loop keep from sagging/separating from the top?
Thank you. Now it makes sense. I have looked at the completed shawl, but that last seam is cropped out of the last picture and covered by the skein of yarn in the second.
Soooo coincidental that just yesterday, I was folding a receipt in the car to see if I still remember how to do make the bags.
ReplyDeleteSo, I wonder if I'm allowed to give YOU the kreativ blogger award!!
I don't know how or if or when you ever got through your NZ pics, Doni. I only have 650 from Japan, and I'm almost halfway done.
I was thinking of how to show the shape of the shawl and you came into my mind - when we were in the Suter's Gallery cafe!
ReplyDeletethank you for the nice thought, but I don't think you can award me back! ;-P
I only just managed to create a blurb book with photos from 2009, and my next task is to create one with NZ pics. I wonder if I'll ever get round it!

ReplyDeleteAnn, the loop is then stitched in the middle leaving enough for the armholes! I hope it's clear, see the shawl over at this post too:
