[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Kanak shawl

[amcarr1 at verizon.net]

Glad you love it.  It is one of my favorite patterns.  I highly recommend
that you use multiple life lines.  If you drop a stitch, it is a bear to
recover it, if not impossible.  

 

HTH,

Annette

Yesterday I knew I'd be attending a meeting that would go very long, so I
wrote down the Kanak shawl pattern on a couple braille cards and cast it on.
People at the beginning were amused at this tiny bit of nondescript knitting
on my needles, but by the time the meeting ended 3 and a half hours later I
had a respectable bit done and it was looking like a small shawl.  I got 2
whole pattern repeats done and started on a third. 

It's a nice pattern, very textured, with some eyelets but not a ton.

It's just what I needed-interesting to knit but not too complicated to work
on while paying attention to something else.

Thanks Annette!

I'd have gone nuts if I had to sit in that meeting with nothing in my hands.

Tracy
