It's Just a Triangle - Shawl

FINALLY - I took the time to take pictures of my It's Just a Triangle - Shawl which I actually finished a little over a week ago. Of course I had to wait until the temp was 93 F (33.89C) so .... Yeah. Check out one very warm gal trying to look like she wasn't feeling like a pork roast out in the sun.


I am very happy with how it turned out. The top of the triangle is almost exactly my height and the spine covers my torso nicely.


This was yarn that I originally had designated for a dog sweater for Emma. It did NOT work out and it went for a nice long swim in the frog pond. Now it is resurrected as a shawl for me!


I foresee myself wearing this in the morning's when I have to go outside with Emma and I am still pajama clad. Like this morning when we got up at 3:30 in the morning and the sirens were going off and a storm was rolling in. Miss Emma was shaking and didn't want to go out - but she needed to go out! So out I went in my pj's, robe and crocks. The bummer about robes is they collect grass and water on the bottom edge - NOT so with shawls! So I am pretty excited about this.


AND it's acrylic so I can throw it in the washer and dryer with no issues! WIN!

The pattern is really easy and you can use pretty much any yarn. Wonderful stash buster! The pattern is called "It's just a triangle - Shawl" and it's free on Ravelry or you can go to Laughing Purple Goldfish Blog and find the pattern there. I love the multi colored ones!

Now I am off to make myself another Flatout Pizza and a nice Salty Dog! :)

@Hippywitch

Thanks so much Lori! I have been wearing it everyday so it's a WIN!

Those naughty Salty Dogs! I just can't stay away from them! I blame the heat. It's been just revoltingly hot here and those salty dogs are just so refreshing! ;)

Would be happy to send you some sunshine. 5 weeks of rain?!?!? That's just depressing! Hope you catch a break soon and get some nice weather!

Have a wonderful (and dry!) weekend friend!

xoxo Jen
