A quick project

My cousin's birthday is coming up and I wanted to make a quick gift for her birthday. Not something simple or basic, but easy enough as to not take up a lot of time (that I didn't have) I wanted something special too as she is also my godmother.

I decided to whip up another 198 Yards of Heaven Shawlette for her.

I can't say enough good things about this pattern. It is quick, well written, and easy. You only need 198 yards! Which is a typical skein of worsted weight wool. Well perhaps not typical....



I used 1 skein of Berraco Ultra Alpaca. It's a deep purple color. Almost eggplant. I am giving it to her tonight. Hope she likes it!

Edit post:

She loved it! Here she is modeling it:


Below is a picture of her sister-in-law modeling it too. I think she wants one now!


Yay! A success!
