Ceci n'est pas une shawl.
Dragonfly Wings [Rav] by Boo Knits; knit with slightly more than half a skein of Cascade Heritage Silk in colorway 5608 Pine
I started this little piece of pretty as part of the Crafts from the Cwtch Pick a Boo! Summer Shawl KAL and it hummed along, doot-do-doo...
...so quickly, in fact, that I only got one progress shot! So easy! I'm going to make 12 shawls by October! Woohoo! Hush, inner monologue: no one wants to hear your smugness.
Now: if one wants to participate in the Ravelry group "12 Shawls Forever" (AKA 12shawls4lyfe!!!1!), there are some rules to follow. Most of them involve very technical requirements: minimum depth, minimum yardage, garment shape, etc. FUNNY STORY: even though it meets the minimum depth requirement, this shawl does not meet the minimum yardage requirement (only 16 yards off!), so it's not a shawl, it's a... glorified scarf?
Also, it's hilariously-shaped:
So even though I don't have a "shawl" for the Pick A Boo! KAL, I do have a pretty bit of frippery to make me feel all fancy at work.
Thanks to Sarah at Crafts from the Cwtch for spurring me to cast on!
How funny! It's a lovely not-shawl! Thanks for joining in xxx
