[NFB-Krafters-Korner] knitting a shawl

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Bernice,

Speaking of pretty shawls, I just completed the feather and fan crescent shawl that Alana taught in January. 
The shawl begins at the neck and curves around the shoulders and closes at the brests. Meanwhile, it hangs down the back to my waist. The feather and fan pattern is so pretty, you may wish to consider it for your shawl. I have a winter coloring, so never can wear yellow. I wear jule tones such as red, blue and green. The shawl I just finished is  homespun candy apple which is a deep red with speckles of another red. My daughter and her husband thought it was really nice-looking.  This shawl is for me!
May God bless you.
