Crafty Friday 3/4 - Citron Shawl

Happy Friday! For once it's not freezing rain or snowing. Yeah! Does that mean Spring is on it's way? I sure hope so.

This Friday I thought I'd share with you the cutest free pattern I just found. If you haven't already noticed, I love knitting shawls. They really are so much fun and you can use just about any yarn you could want.

This shawl is lovely just for it's simplicity. Why do shawls always have to be complicated lace patterns? They don't.

The pattern is the Citron Shawl by Hilary Smith Callis from Knitty. Their Winter 2009 edition.

I'm not entirely sure about the color she used, but the shawl itself is beautiful. I will definitely be casting this one on very soon.

CSN Stores Review Coming Soon!

I was recently contacted again by CSN stores to review a product from any one of their more than 200 stores! CSN has just about anything you could possibly imagine from cookware to outdoor furniture and even computer desks for home! How cool is that?

Now my big problem is what to review. With summer not too far away (wishful thinking!) I was thinking something to enjoy outdoors. Maybe for the garden?

Hmmm....tough decisions. You'll be the first to know when I decide and I'll have that review up in plenty of time for you to complete your summer party shopping!
