[Nfb-krafters-korner] Shawl pins

[Blindhands at aol.com]

There is a couple of ways of using them and there is a couple different  
types of shawl pins available.
 
You can use any type of pin basic shawl pin and using a triangle shawl have 
 the point [longest point of shawl] draped over one shoulder with point 
dangling  to the hand.  Now the other 2 points of the shawl criscross over the 
other  sholder with one point going to your back and the other pointing to 
the front of  you.  Secure the pin on your shoulder thru the both layers of 
the shawl or  thru the both layers of the shawl and your clothing that you 
are wearing under  the shawl.  That will hold the shawl in place, show off the 
pin and hold  everything from slipping.
 
Now they have a shawl pin that has kinda a knitting needle point coming out 
 of one end.  It usually has something decrorative on one end and the point 
 or point that has a cap or something to secure on the other end.  With 
this  one you have some other options.  You can use it like the other but you  
need to put it thru the weave of the Shawl.  You can wear the shawl with  
longest point going down your back and pinsh and work point thru both ends  
holding shawl together down the front of you and arrange shawl going down 
center  front with shawl pin going up and down.
 
Those are the 2 basic ways I know of and there are a bunch of shapes of  
shawls with a range of using the shawl pins.
