The Rose Shawl



While I could cite statistics about what all kept me so busy (and stressed) at work, I'm sure you'd rather see the crochet therapy that kept me sane.

I made a shawl/wrap for my sister's friend Arlene.  It was an easy (free) pattern and worked up quickly. 


The hardest part was selecting the buttons... I thought these were perfect!





I wrapped the shawl up in Christmas paper and ribbons and sent it off to my sister...  who delivered it to Arlene.




Hopefully, it is keeping this sweet lady warm and comfy in this very chilly weather.

  4. Hello Freda,

    You are a good person to do that, why is it choosing buttons take so long. All the best for 2016.

    Happy days.
