A friend of mine lost her mom last month so I thought I would knit her a comfort shawl. Her mom loved blue so I thought I would make it in blue that has some green to give it depth. I used Homespun by Lion brand, which is a bulky yarn, in the color Lagoon. I am not a big fan of the Lion brand Homespun yarn because it’s splitty, but it makes a nice soft thicker blanket type of fabric. I cast on 68 stitches and knit it in a garter stitch with a size 10 needle. It will take 3 skeins to finish the length. If you need it wider just add extra stitches when you cast on and grab another skein :P.

A thunder storm will be blowing in about 9pm tonight and then more rain mid week next week. Spring weather!! Sure wish they would quit doing the spring forward with the time, it sure messes us my sleep for a month or so.
