Grandma's Love

Beth G. is the Sales Director in our office. Her grandmother used to make her sweaters that over time became unwearable and were about to be tossed out. I had asked her for the sweaters and told her I could unravel them and make her a little something that she would have to remember her Grandma's love of knitting. Here is Beth's shawl.
I must admit, that the knitting goddess saw fit to slap me upside my head where this pattern was concerned. I went at it with the attitude that if I would just plunge in and go for it that I could make a work of art. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I didn't. I didn't get upset when I had to frog the project 7-8 times and start again. Oh no...but when I realized that I didn't know how to block the darn thing is where the lesson in humility knocked me off my feet.
