It's shawl week for #ShowMeYourKnits and I've made several recently! Second and third patterns available at www.ravelry.com/designers/ga.... The brioche shawl is not that recent, but it's one of my favorites!

The theme for #ShowMeYourKnits this week is things you've knit multiple times, which admittedly I don't do very often! I made the blue Effervescent scarf first, then made one in white for my stepmom. I made the hats for two of my choir friends who happened to like the same pattern.
