[NFB-Krafters-Korner] knitting a shawl

Fri Apr 5 23:17:55 UTC 2019

I did the feather and fan dishcloth, so I kept wondering what was so difficult about the shawl. It seemed like there might have a mistake or too, so was the updated pattern posted to the group? 

I am such a tough broad, I insisted on not missing any work. My son-in-law helped me get in and picked me up. My co-workers helped by taking my LoLo out for me. I couldn't have done it all if Jim hadn't helped me. God is good.

Bernice and the adorable LoLo.

Hi again Bernice,

That is awful to imagine the pain you went through this winter. I pray you will now stay healthy and whole. 
It did take Maria and I awhile to figure out how to work the pattern. Eventually, I understood 
 What was being described and then it wasn’t difficult.
Did you take Dixie’s class on the feather and fan dishcloth? That is when I fell in love with that pattern. It is only a four row repeat. 
Well, if not that pattern, I hope you find a nice one, and when you do, please let us know.

May God bless you.
 Cathy F
