She wanted pure wool, Canadian sourced, so she ordered DK wool (Emerald, #s-13) online from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandriveryarns.com\" title=\"Grand River Yarns\" target=\"_blank\">Grand River Yarns<\/a>. The downside of this order was that she was not given a shipping choice &#8212; the order was expedited, arriving just a couple days after ordering it. Cheryl would have been happy to wait a little longer to spend less on shipping.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t follow a pattern, I just started crocheting with a 4.5mm hook. The downside to this is that I finished the yarn with a shawl that was not long enough to wrap around my little sister. <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"633\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/a-shawl-for-cheryl\/olympus-digital-camera-22\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?fit=1280%2C960\" data-orig-size=\"1280,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SP570UZ&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1362321260&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;8.87&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?fit=525%2C394\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Cheryl's Shawl\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P3030176.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>*sigh* I pulled it all out and am starting over.
