Once the reclaimed yarn had been washed and dried, it only took 2 days to  make the new shawl. Now I know why it&#8217;s sometimes called a Pineapple Shawl &#8212; though the pineapples are rather elongated. Rather pleased with the shawl itself. I&#8217;ve already worn it far more in a week than I ever wore the triangular one.<\/p>\n<p>The yarn is really nice and relatively easy to work with &#8211; although, as it&#8217;s only twisted, you do have to watch out that you don&#8217;t split the strands. I&#8217;d definitely use this yarn again &#8212; if I could find some. Pretty sure it&#8217;s been discontinued. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last migraine really knocked me for six!
