Knitting Project - Grand Army Plaza Shawl

The Grand Army Plaza Shawl was such a fun, and sad knitting project. About halfway through knitting this pattern, I discovered I had dropped several stitches! 😥 This was the first time I used lace-weight yarn to knit a lace pattern, and I just didn't know how to fix my mistakes. So, I unraveled all the work I did. I sat and looked at my ball of yarn contemplating wether I would start the project again, and I decided I would. It was such a pretty shawl - I really wanted to use the yarn I had for that project. So, I casted stitches back onto my needle.

I am so happy that I decided to try again! I completed my shawl, and it turned out beautifully. I wear my new accessory with pride. 💞
