Hi, Knitters,
I have a new pattern for you today, the 50 Row Shawlette. I love this little shoulder warmer of a shawlette. It is very sweet, very fast, and very easy! Perfect knitting for this time of year if you ask me. I keep calling it a little flounce of a thing.
I have a special discount code available for $1.00 off through December 25th, 2013!
Discount code: MERRY
This shawl is literally 50 rows and then you are done! 250 yards of a worsted weight is all you'll need. I used some handspun but there are lots of other worsted weight yarns you could use.
Here are some suggestions from the Ravelry project page I made:
Any hearty solid, tonal, striped, gradient or variegated worsted weight will work fine:
Quince & Co. Lark Madelinetosh Worsted
Cascade 220 or Superwash
Lorna’s Laces Worsted
Brooklyn Tweed Shelter
Noro Silk Garden or Kureyon
You can whip this shawlette up in no time at all, one or two evenings is all it takes!
Here is some information you might like to know:

Here is a little in progress shot! I loved knitting this fast and fun project and I am enjoying wearing it just as much. I am wearing the shawlette for my latest video if you want to see it on my shoulders. Click here to see the video.

Have a great weekend and get that shopping done! I'm saying this to myself mainly because I am not much of a shopper these days. I hope you are faring better.
