Crocheting

 I am trying to help my DD get back into crocheting, so I've taken it up again.

I finished a shawl that DD asked me to make look like Autumn.

She even sent a photo for inspiration. 

I finished it last night.

I need to get a photo of her wearing it.

I'll update the post when I have the new photo.
