My new year’s resolution shawl

I’ve been knitting several years but have always stuck to easy no pattern projects. My resolution this year is to break myself of that habit. I will knit lace, I will use a pattern, and by goodness… I will learn to read a chart! I’ve accomplished all and more in this lovely little shawl. I am in love with knitting off of charts and I move forward a more confident and ambitious knitter. Next adventure…. socks…..
