kerravonsenFinally finished The Shawl today!
This has been an ongoing project since the beginning of this year.
Shawl by Kathryn and Tiria Andersen; 100% wool; loom-knit and crochet.
This was combined loom-knitting and crochet. First, strips of double-knit loom-knitting were made (some by Tiria, some by me).
Then I crocheted around the edges to neaten them.
Then I joined them with lacy crochet.
Then I crocheted all the way around with more lacy crochet.
And here it is, done at last!

I'm so much a multi-crafter that I'm fortunate that I can pick and choose and mix things up. 8-)
