Ishbel

I never thought I would make a shawl.  I mean, when am I gonna wear one?   They always seemed so dressy and fussy, but after seeing so many Ishbels made by others I couldn't resist.  I figured if I made the small version, it would almost be like a scarf so I went on and bought yarn and cast on for one.   It ended up a little bigger than I expected, but it's so pretty.

I loved making this.  In fact, I can't get over how much fun I had.  I want to make 50 more.  I probably won't go that crazy, but I really am considering at least one more.  We'll see.
