Happy New Year Melanie! I love your blankets and scarves videos. You are so easy to follow. Just wondering, if you have any ideas for maybe making a shawl? I saw some recently in a store and I thought it would be cool to make, but I have no idea how. Just an idea. Thank you for making all your videos. I really enjoy them! Hope you have a happy and healthy new year!
