August means it’s time for a well-earned vacation, and Danielle is off to Jamaica. But for the Yarnistas, essential packing means having the right handmade packed, and Danielle has her best recommendations for us- she loves these shawls as quick cover-ups for swimsuits at the pool or beach, and then toss over a sundress for cooler evenings at dinner. The perfect resort accessory!
Whether you knit or crochet, shawls are so versatile, and perfect for trying out a new fiber- linen and cotton are perfect for shaking out sand and adding a touch of elegance.
