The days are still pretty warm here in Vermont but at night you can feel Fall starting to creep in. I have to say this has been one of the fullest summers for me and the kids in a long time. Perhaps it has something to do with not having an infant or very young toddler, my "baby" is starting preschool next week, but we really squeezed as much fun and relaxation as we possibly could out of the past few months. I am tired! Ready to send the kids off to school and knit up some warm goodies for the upcoming seasons.
It's been a while since I've knit something for myself and my favorite Fall and Winter accessory is a good shawl or cowl. Having something around your neck just makes you so cosy, don't you think? Last winter I was adorned all season long with my own Drop Stitch Cowls and I am sure I will be this winter as well but I wanted something a little lighter weight to get me to the snow. The Sweet November Shawl fit the bill perfectly and I had the perfect yarn in my stash.
I am really happy with the way this project turned out and it was a thoroughly enjoyable knit. All my project notes, details and more pictures can be found on Ravelry.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love that yarn, too~ Definitely going to try this one.
The cooler night air is wonderful even down here in Springfield. We're enjoying the night breeze a lot more now than a couple of weeks ago.

lovin' the look of this. Headed out to a fiber thingy in a couple of weeks and it's great to have something in your head to buy for, although I have NO PROBLEM just buying what talks to me!! Slowly working on another shawl, but this one might work up faster and I can wear it or gift it while I work on the other one!! Thanks for the inspiration in the show and tell.

Yes! If you can find yarn with nice drape you'll be really happy with the final results. This was a quick knit. I worked in my "spare time" over a week or two. Have fun at your fiber fest! And thank you for your kind comments too! xoA

I've been eyeing this shawl for a long time and wondering if I should make it or not. Thank you for making me finally decide YES! This is one of the most beautiful representations of this pattern I've ever seen! The color, the drape, everything is perfection!

Is there a way to get the pattern in English? LOVE this shawl and want to make a few but the ravelry pattern is in another language. Any tips to get this translated?

Nevermind with my comment. Wow I'm spacey sometimes. I just downloaded the wrong version. Thanks for sharing this...it's beautiful!

Thank you sooooo much for offering your beautiful patterns for free. You have no idea how greatly appreciated it is in these hard times. Very grateful. I cannot wait to make the Sweet November Shawl.

can this scarf be crochet instead of knitted, as i do not know how to knit?
Posted by: debbie a. | November 13, 2015 at 09:42 AM
Hi Debbie, unfortunately I don't crochet, I knit. Have you checked Ravelry for something similar? Sorry!

Hi! What brand and color yarn did you use to make yours?
Thanks! Lindsay
Posted by: Lindsay Griffin | December 18, 2015 at 11:27 AM
Hi Lindsay, it was Louet Merlin Worsted, which I think has been discontinued :( If you follow the link to my Ravelry project above you can see all the details.
Posted by: Abi | December 27, 2015 at 05:32 PM
Hi Jill, I knit this so many years ago and it is not my original design :( Have you tried contacting the designer directly?
