A little chilly

It was a little cold this weekend so I decided I would make a shawl. Mind you not a very warm thing. Also not easy to knit when your five year old loves the texture and keeps pulling at it, while you are knitting. Funny, I made it in a pastel. I don't normally wear pastels so I don't really know what I was thinking, but it will be nice at Easter time if there is a chill. If not, my kids will probably just have fun wearing it around the house. I can already tell that will happen.

Simple Pattern
I made it up; not very hard, mind you.
Cast on one, knit entire shawl. Increase 1 stitch at the end of every row till you have 50 stitches on needles. Knit to desired length, then knit 2 together at the end of every row till last stitch. Finish thread. Done.
Supplies :Size 15 needles and eyelash yarn (I used almost four balls)

The triangle points I am going to use as ties, I might at times put a mother of pearl buckle there to hold them together too for a little more formal look.

This is actually done. I took the photo right before I started my decreases. 2 days = 1 shawl
DO NOT USE THIS PATTERN TO MAKE THINGS TO SELL FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!!!!
