Adonienieroschen Shawl
I've finally blocked my Adonienieroschen shawl. I adapted the pattern from Gloria Penning's Old World Treasures. I am really happy with the way it turned out. It was an easy knit, and I actually used stitch markers, which I rarely do (I only used 1 on the whole Maple Garland shawl, and that was for the beginning of the round!). I unraveled the front of a sweater that I was never going to finish or wear, and then used two of the remaining three balls. I think I'll send whatever I have left to my friend. She is having some health problems, and I hope that this will be a long distance hug. When I told B that it was for a friend who was sick, she wanted to get into our car and drive to see her to give her a hug to make her feel better! She is such a sympathetic little girlie! So I hope that the shawl is well received!

STUNNING! What a blessing you are going to be to your friend!
Well, it doesn't look like an easy knit. Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow that is one beautiful piece! You did a great job!
Carissa, sent this GORGEOUS shawl.... to "ME". I was in tears when I opened up the package and found this shawl and a lovely card inside. She made this for me to wear to help with the chills that my IV chemo treatments are causing during/after each treatment. I have been wearing this shawl off and on since I opened the package yesterday. Feels like a comforting "HUG" from Carissa. Thank you again, Carissa.... for making this shawl for me. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am to have a friend make me something this beautiful. Please hug little Bethany for me. She is such a sweetie to want to have you drive her here to give me a hug.
Very lovely Carissa! You rock at shawl knitting ;o)
This shawl is stunning!
