Introduction: Grandma Williams Hap Shawl
About: 60 year old grandmother who has been knitting for 50+ years. Work in a greenhouse 10 months out of the year. Husband is a truck driver and I travel with him when the opportunity arises.
My husband ask me to knit his mother a shawl. Knowing that she would never use one, I decided to knit a hap shawl. Using three patterns from Sharon Miller's Heirloom Knitting, I came up with this shawl. It is knit from Lion Brand sport weight wool ease yarn. Grandma uses it as a nap afghan as it is 5 feet square. The wool ease gives it a nice wool feel and look but it can be laundered without worrying about felting.
I loved working with the sport weight yarn and was disappointed when it was discontinued.
