HA!). So keep that in mind too. I love knitting lace shawls out of worsted weight. They are warm, cozy, and the pattern is easier to see. :) Shawlettes (shoulder shawls) end up being full size shawls when using a heavier yarn. Works really well for the "Scarf" pattern (it's more of a shawlette) for the Wing of the Moth shawl found on knitspot.com . Happy big yarn lace knitting!!C4Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985376074953241123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017408759523058378.post-27603830735425654772007-07-04T14:18:00.000-07:002007-07-04T14:18:00.000-07:00Aye!

It can also be a large rectangle. I lived in India for 2 years which is where I began to where shawls. All large, woolen, rectangular wraps are called shawls.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207165352877978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017408759523058378.post-69989595622621840132007-07-03T13:17:00.000-07:002007-07-03T13:17:00.000-07:00The shawl I'm working on for this project is a lig...The shawl I'm working on for this project is a light worsted weight yarn.Sherry Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103490521732524156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017408759523058378.post-33826346606156165402007-07-02T11:20:00.000-07:002007-07-02T11:20:00.000-07:00Thank you very much for this as the posts are begi...Thank you very much for this as the posts are beginning to look like a competition: who can spin the finest yarn? A shawl is a shawl. It doesn't even need to be lace, for goodness sake!
