Yes, knitwear is functional. It keeps us warm. But sometimes it's nice if it keeps us just a
little warm. Lightweight yarn, knitted into simple delicate shawls, provides the right amount of warmth and comfort on those first days of spring when the sun has come out but it's still chilly. I usually don't dress warmly enough due to my excitement that spring is here! But then find that it isn't actually here yet. Wearing a lightweight type of neck scarf, I can
act less cold even if my toes are freezing in my sandals and my ankles could use sock coverage. At least my neck and shoulders are warm!

These shawls can be folded over and worn as scarves with the triangle point in the front or the back. Stretch them width-wise and wrap them twice around or stretch them length-wise for a traditional shawl style worn down over the shoulders.
These two items are available for purchase by email or on my etsy site. They are handspun and all natural fibers. See them at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmolynKnits
