One & Done Shawl
Hello Readers!
My bestie Margot can be difficult to craft for… A) she is a knitter so I only want to make things she doesn't make for herself and B) she lives in neutral colours - and you know how much I love colourful projects. Luckily, my prayers to the craft gods were answered!
Nina notes in her pattern “This project requires very little effort for very gratifying results. Using only a single Caron Big Cake and the most elementary of crochet stitches, you can quickly make this versatile, one-size-fits-most piece that can be worn as either a shawl or a scarf.” She got it spot on! The pattern uses very simple stitches, but when completed it appears so intricate and detailed! Nina also offers instructions for a picot border - but I opted for 3 tassels at the points of the triangle. This project was so much fun to make and I will have to head back to the craft store so I can make one for myself too!

She and I ventured into a Michael's craft store together - which is always dangerous… and while I poured over the yarn selection, she noted a ball of Caron Big Cakes stating “I don't normally go for colour but I love this one!” It was the colourway Honey Glazed, with all the varied neutrals she loves, with a pop of burnt orange and mustard yellow! So I went back later that week and bought it!
After some quick searching online I came across the One “Big Cake” Shawl by Nina Nicholson at Spoons & Hooks. I knew it was fate because one of the project photos was in the same colourway and it looks fantastic!

Until next time,
