It was just cool enough to need a shawl yesterday.
I love knitting shawls but they are not always easy to wear
because
they don't stay put and you have to fuss all the time you wear one!
So I placed the shawl over my shoulders
and pinched where the underarm would be if it was a sweater.
(I rearranged it so the back hung like a swing sweater
and the fronts curled nicely, too.)
Then I did a whipped stitch to keep the edges in place
and wore it like a little shrug
all day
and it never fell off my shoulder or shifted
so I never had to fear bending over or moving freely!!!!!
I will do this with all of my crescent shaped shawls!
And today, I will be going to quilting group.
I will take the sewing mat and finish it!
Cool fix for the problem!
ReplyDeleteI have that same problem with shawls falling off my shoulders. That's a good fix.
ReplyDeleteClever idea! Love the shawl you're wearing, too. I prefer crescent shaped shawls to the triangle ones. Have fun with your quilting friends.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. That's why I love the shawl I knit a few months ago. I can't remember it's name but it hugs your shoulders and never moves. I wear it often and have given several away because it's so comfortable to wear.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at quilting.
Blessings,

Brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteI plan on turning all my future triangle shawls into cowls. Just did that with Eurasian Cowl, which the designer knit flat and then seamed, but I joined in the round at about 21" wide. But now I have your idea to use on those pesky crescents that don't drape well!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes this is a simply wonderful idea. I don't like how shawls fall most of the time
ReplyDeleteNice fix for the one downside of shawl-wearing!
