My Seaweed on the Beach is finished ...

It's a shawlette rather than a full size shawl because I used fingering weight yarn instead of lace weight and didn't change the size of the needle because I wanted the shawlette size and fingered this is how I could do it. Then I discovered that I loved this pattern called StellaLuna so much, I've decided I want to make it full size in a lace weight yarn as well. Can't say I repeat too many patterns more than once but on occasion I come across one that I will (such as the Budding Shawlette and the Boneyard).

Of course the yarn I used for the Seaweed has something to do with how much I love this little shawl ...

Something about the color appeals to me as well ... hence the name,
Seaweed on the Beach. And that's with a smile on my face ...

Knitting with seaweed ...



Link
The beads are pale blue ... like water droplets. The yarn is the color of sun bleached seaweed on the beach. It might be the Stella Luna pattern but I think I'll call it ...

"Seaweed on the Beach". Why I might even take it down to the beach with me today.


That's right ... take it with me and get a little sand in it!!
