Oh, what a lovely three days the Victoria Day Long Weekend was!  Naz got to sit in a chair in the front window and knit an entire shawl the cro-hook way.  Okay, so it was supposed to be a cardigan, but with greeting all the well-wishers and waving to all the motorists and pedestrians... well, it's a good thing that there wasn't a more pressing deadline to get it finished.

The shawl was made from 1 ball of Marble Chunky and 2 balls of Tempo Chunky in a co-ordinating colour.  All that's left to be done is to use up the remaining yarn as fringe.  It's gorgeous!!  The finished shawl is being donated to the Lilac Gardens Festival (www.LilacGardensofLindsay.com).  If you haven't made plans to attend, you MUST!  There will be a parade down Kent Street downtown on Saturday, May 23rd, with hay-wagon shuttle rides from downtown to the Park on Logie Street.

Anyways, back to the shawl... if you're not familiar with cro-hooking, do yourself a favour and be sure to check it out!  It's a very easy technique that combines both knitting and crochet.  Variegated yarns were made for this!!

Warning:  cro-hooking may prove to be addictive and habit-forming!

Please consult the yarn doctor at your LYS.
