[NFB-Krafters-Korner] knitting a shawl

[Bernice Bird]

Everybody seems to have so much trouble with the feather and fan shawl, I
didn't try it. Also, I was dealing with broken bones In my foot and then I
fell on the ice and broke my pelvis. Now I am getting back into having the
patience to work on stuff again.

Thanks,

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.
