:) Storytime:

This was a wonderfully peaceful & easy (& exciting) shawl to knit. It slowly grows by adding 1 new stitch every forth row until your desired width and then you decrease every fourth row until you have 1 stitch left. It becomes a cozy, elongated triangle shawl or cowl, depending on your mood and/or weather. This was a 2-fold knitting project, the first half was peaceful and the second half was exhilarating. While knitting the second half, my excitement grew with each decrease row because it meant that I was one row closer to wrapping up in it :)

:) Confession: Me vs the Garter Stitch {*heavy sigh*}:

Once upon a time, in two thousand and eleven, I learned how to knit. I refused to knit anything using the garter stitch, the stitch where you knit every row, front and back. It was just too simple… it was for newbies. {Clearly I was in denial of being a beginner knitter.} However, now as a seasoned knitter I’m finally embracing the garter stitch. And I’m in love! The garter stitch creates the perfect texture, stretch and squish for any cozy project. {in my humble opinion}
