Schnapps and I are working on items for our craft fair in November and we've been sharing photos on Facebook. Many people are asking for the pattern for this triangle shawl, so I thought it would be easiest to post it here for all to see.
Before we do though, we have the very sad news to share that our friend Jennifer passed away on August 4, 2014. She was a truly remarkable woman who was so full of happiness and life. Please send some love to her family, especially her husband and please try to honor her by living a life that is happy and focused on helping others.
Jennifer just turned 30 in March and she just got married on July 6 - fulfilling her last wish. She lived her life with strength, grace and dignity. We met through DEHH and only knew each other online........I wish that I had been able to meet her in person. I am honored that she considered me a friend.
Please take a few moments and read about her - she inspired so many. http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2014/08/her_smile_lights_up_a_room_fli.html
If you are able to help her family at all, here is a link to a Fundrazr page.

This is NOT an original pattern - this pattern can be found all over the
place. We're sharing our versions with you, but we did NOT design it.

| Knit using worsted weight yarn and size 17 needles to 70 stitches. |

| Knit using Moonlight Mohair yarn and size 17 needles to 75 stitches. |

| Knit using 5-weight yarn and size 19 needles to 60 stitches. |

This pattern is exceptionally versatile. And extremely simple. Have fun with it! This can also be used as a scarf or wrapped around a head. :)
I used one skein of Lion Brand's Moonlight Mohair and I got 2 shawls out of one skein of Lion Brand's Homespun. The worsted weight yarn I used wasn't labelled, so I am not sure what it was, but I would guess I had about 200 yards or so.
Before you knit this, please be sure to read Jennifer's story and help if you can. Take a moment to find happiness and to send some love to her husband, family and friends.
Cast on 3 stitches.
Row 1: Knit front and back of first stitch, knit to last stitch, knit front and back of last stitch.
Repeat Row 1, increasing 2 stitches in every row for as long as you like.
Knit one row straight across without increasing.
Cast off very loosely. Go up a size in needles for casting off if it helps.
When using 17's, I've been going between 70 and 80. Using 19's I went to 60 stitches. Make it smaller or larger - whichever you like. It's really that simple.
Fantastic Thank you
