From Shawl to Blanket


I began a new fiber arts item, attempting to make a shawl for my friend's "Cozy Butterfly project" (https://shelleyburbank.com/cozy-butterfly-project/). I decided though, that I was much better at crocheting than knitting, so wanted to try making a crocheted contribution instead.



Somehow, I got carried away and miscalculated how wide the shawl needed to be. Instead of pulling it out and starting again, I decided to use up some odd balls of yarn and continue with it as a campfire blanket, or knee rug. 

I tried something from YouTube called the crochet knit stitch; this is how it turned out. It doesn't look like knitting to me, so when I start my Cozy Butterfly shawl again, I'll have to try something different.
