Summer has been wonderful, that feeling of the warm sun gracing our skin, we all revel in it. We are now edging into fall which means evening temperature dips. While we still are dressed in short sleeves and spaghetti straps its also time to start carrying with us a little extra “something” to keep us warm when a little chill starts to set in.

Sure, we could grab a hoodie or a jacket, but really is all that necessary quite yet? It certainly detracts from the fashion appeal of a dress or nice outfit.

That is where the classic shawl comes in! These beautiful body drapes warm you while being a beautiful addition and accent to an outfit be it casual or elegant.

Shawls are making a comeback. Any time I wear one of mine people tend to stop me to compliment me. Surprisingly enough actually wearing my creations has been one of the best forms of advertising I could ever do.

These cover ups are cozy, soft, comfortable, and visually beautiful one of a kind pieces you can easily customize though color or combinations of color in order to make them your very own.

It’s a very satisfying feeling when someone asks “Hey! I love that, where did you get it?” to be able to say, “I made it myself.”

While knitting or crocheting may seem intimidating at first, follow the simple pattern instructions, choose your yarn, make sure you have all the listed tools needed, and just take it one stitch at a time.

You may just surprise yourself with what you can create!

Need some more direction? I am always here!

I would also like to invite you to join this private group Create. Share. Inspire on Facebook where you can interact with me as well as many other members who have a love of knitting and crochet just like you! We are a tight knit community 😉

I host a livestream podcast Monday – Friday on my YouTube Channel called Create Share Inspire Podcast. You can join the audience LIVE and even ask me questions LIVE! I often do a show and tell or quick demo and I always interact with the live audience. It is a lot of fun!

You can browse through over 600 previously recorded episodes HERE: Create Share Inspire Podcast Playlist . Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to get reminders when the next episode airs LIVE. I also created a private Facebook group called Create Share Inspire to allow my audience to continue the podcast party throughout the rest of the day. It is a wonderful and safe place to share your photos of finished projects in my knitting or crochet patterns or yarns, and to see what others are making, too.

Get Creating!
