A Case of the Caribbean Blues Hand Knit "Hugs" Scarf Shawl Cowl~Shawl for Her~Scarf for her~Handknit Turquoise Shawl for her~Uber Soft Shawl Hand knit "Hugs Of Love" Shawl Scarf Cowl worthy of year round use.this is one of my personal favorites!! Soft as soft can be & can be worn with the metallic eyelash strip at your neck OR the simple UBER soft "plain side" at the neck. This shawl measures 70 inches in length on the "plain edge" & 49 inches in length on the sparkly soft eyelash edge. The yarn is a blend of the softest Merino wool/acrylic blend throughout with a 4 inch band of metallic eyelash with teal & olive green strands (strands are about 2" long) & variegated velvety ladder ribbon that adds a touch of soft turquoise, deep sky blue,violet, & soft magenta glimmers. This shawl weighs in at 7 1/2 ounces & took me about 10 hours to knit. The nice part about these shawls is they keep you warm in the winter bundled round your neck. & they dress up a pair of jeans & blouse just as nicely as an evening dress. They work well year round, on cool spring & summer evenings they keep the chill off, & in heavily air conditioned venues they've kept me from turning blue!! Most every one of my hand knit shawls are started with casting on 67 stitches in memory of my mom,one stitch for each of her birthdays. . I grew up in the back of my maternal grandmother's yarn shop learning all kinds of creative skills, from knitting to crocheting,needlepoint,cross stitch & sewing. When my mom lost her battle with cancer in 2004 (after a Most Valiant battle of 4 short months) I flew home to help my dad get things in order around the house. We discovered a walk in closet packed to the rafters with yarn from my Grandmother's shop!! I told myself I wasn't going to start knitting again & found myself bringing lots of yarn back home with me. I worked through the grief of losing my mom while knitting up a storm,knitting became something of a meditative practice for me. Every stitch helped me heal my grief & remember all the good memories I was blessed with. So....now I pass on some of my hand knit treasures to you, my hand knit "Hugs of Love & Healing" Dry Cleaning Recommended Thanks for stopping to view my A Case of the Caribbean Blues Hand Knit "Hugs" Scarf Shawl Cowl~Shawl for Her~Scarf for her~Handknit Turquoise Shawl for her~Uber Soft Shawl A Case Of The Caribbean Blues Hand Knit "Hugs" Scarf Shawl Cowl~Shawl For Her~Scarf Her~Handknit Turquoise Her~Uber Soft
