A new crochet shawl

4/29/2025

I finished another crochet project this week! This is a donation shawl that I made with 1 1/3 Caron Cotton Angel Cakes. The yard is a cotton/acrylic blend. I didn't really love working with the yarn but I think the shawl will be comfortable enough.

I have one more cake of this yarn. I bought all of it on sale several years ago. I gave some thought to donating this but have decided that I need to use it up. There's not enough for a shawl like the one above but I think it will work in this pattern on YouTube. I'll get it started this weekend.

The other project that I'm going to start is a scarf using the yarn leftover from the poncho. I might have enough yarn for 2 scarves. The yarn was expensive enough that I'm determined to use it up.

In other news, we have another nest! We haven't had a clutch in the second box in a few years. If successful, this will be a Tufted Titmouse family.

Chris is away on his annual golf escape. I'm hiking with some friends Sunday but hope to make some progress on my veterans quilts and my etching project this weekend.

That's going to be a crowded birdhouse if all 6 babies survive. The parents will be busy feeding that many mouths.

Good job on the shawl. As for the gray yarn, I completely agree about using all of the expensive yarn.
We have two houses with bluebirds at Mom’s and there is a ne#t in my front porch gutter once again.

I am sure someone will be glad to have that pretty shawl. I need to go look and see if the nest in my one bush has any eggs in it.

Wow - you made that shawl in a hurry! Someone is going to love it.
Had to consult with Mr. Google to see what a tufted titmouse looks like. Never seen one here. Hope they have a successful hatching.
