Sidewalk Shawl-Tah Dah!!

Sidewalk Shawl Tah Dah!




This was an easy project and I love it in the Mercury. The yarn is wonderful to work with. I put the long fringe on and I'm so glad I did. It looks just like I wanted it to. I may block it later, I haven't decided yet. The weight of the fringe weighs it down enough to stretch it out and show the pineapple design. Even with the long fringe I only used 5 skeins so I have one left over...a hat maybe??

Here is the specs:

Pattern: Sidewalk Shawl
Yarn: 5 skeins of  Debbie Stoller Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe in Mercury
 Time: It took about two weeks. It worked up fast and pretty easy to follow and watch TV.

By the way...my back is better after resting last week. I alternated Ice and Heat every other day. It helped somewhat just temporarily. Thank you for all your well wishes! I do appreciate them. Have a great week!
