Megan’s autumn shawl
Speaking of friends – as I did in my last post – I’d like to introduce you to my friend (blogless) Megan. We met when first at university and living in residential college, way back when I was only 17. We’ve partied together, laughed together, travelled together, cried together, and despite having lived in different countries at different stages and different towns at different stages, we’ve remained friends. How many years now Megan? Gulp, I think it’s over 25 years….
Megan brought a basket full of assorted autumn toned yarns along to one of our Sewjourn weekends, and began to crochet them together at random. I think that her initial plan was to make a blanket, but she stopped at a shawl. And it’s just perfect. Each row uses a different stitch to the one before, depending on Megan’s whim and the behaviour of the yarn. And I know that she has worn it a lot.
So autumnal! And so appropriate among the leaves of Yackandandah. May there be many more years of friendship ahead.
Yeahhh for Meagan. It looks great and I love that top shot with the leaves.
You are blessed to have a friend like that for so long.During different times in my life I had one or two close friends.I have lost three dear friends over the years.Nothing torn at my heart more than to lose a friend.Again you are blessed.
Deep, life long friends are the best. Blogless Megan did a great job on her shawl. Love the colors.

Yay for Megan!!! Great to see the finished product. Looking forward to seeing what she’s making in… how many days…? (Eeep!)
What a creative approach to the piece – and terrific end result!
An old (long term) friend is a treasure indeed.
It can’t be 25 years!! I still feel 25.
Oh the things we have done, and the places we have been. Lots to re-live in our old age!
