Clementine Shawlette

The Clementine Shawletter has been waiting on my queue for quite some time and yet I have so many projects in hand and could not kick a start of it. I got a good chance this Christmas and decided to start knitting it for my friend Amy, for her loss of bag"s" of yarn in mail during the holiday seasons.

The pattern is simple yet beautiful. The short repeats of the main body makes it a perfect TV project. The little knot at the very beginning is lovely and make it convenient to tie the shawl around your body even with heavier yarn.

I chose ColourMart Cashmere 2/7NM DK Weight for this project in a pink colour. The outcome is soft and squishy and warm. I wish it can comfort my dear friend a little bit and COME ON! LET'S BUY MORE YARN!

A footnote for my Hemlock Ring Blanket. It's finished and we just need "some" blocking, some aggressive blocking actually. I am still looking for a possible place to block it.
