March is the month to start an exciting new shawl club at Get Stitchin’. Terry Brezinsky will introduce knit and crochet patterns to the club every other month. Makers can choose one craft or both. Patterns will be sourced from indie designers, yarn companies, and wherever patterns are found. Shawl basics will be covered, and any unique parts of a pattern will be explained. Yarn suggestions include the beautiful collections of locally dyed yarns at Get Stitchin’ and some well-known companies. We will meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 1 pm to 2:30 pm.
This is a social event, so there is no charge to attend. However, we encourage you to purchase your supplies from Get Stitchin’. Jump in at any time. Work at your own pace. Ask for help if you need it. Most of all – HAVE FUN!

Abundant Earth Shawl by Amy Daraghy
This highly textured shawl uses herringbone half double crochet in mesh and solid sections and punctuates the solid sections with lacy Y stitches. A delicate picot edging finishes the piece. It is worked from side to side and looks beautiful in one or two colors. Or try it with a gradient yarn for an interesting look.
Pattern is fully charted and includes instructions for an alternative to a turning chain.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Yarn Requirements: Approximately 600 yards of fingering weight yarn
Sample shown used 3 skeins Abundant Earth Fiber BFL/Silk Limited Edition. If you have leftover partial skeins from other projects, they could be used in the different sections for a color blocked shawl.
In December, we are only meeting once this month to celebrate the past year of shawls and look forward to another wonderful year of crochet.
