Comfort Shawls


I have made a few for bereaved friends and others who are going through challenging times. On my camping trip this past weekend, I took along a project I am starting for a high school friend who recently lost her husband. I saw them at the 50th Reunion two years ago and I am saddened at the loss of this admirable man. The shawl is the third triangle hap style I have made. I found the pattern in Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls by Martha Waterman. I am using a size 7 circular needle 36". Trying a new yarn called Accord from http://www.sierrapacificcrafts.org This is the tip of the shawl which will be much larger when complete.
