Truly Tasha's Shawl
Designed by Nancy Bush
Instructed by Trudie Simoson
Taken from pattern:
This shawl was inspired by a visit Nancy made to Tasha Tudor's home in Vermont. Tasha, an illustrator and writer of children's books - Corgiville is one of the great ones - wraps herself in shawls similar to this one, just to cover her shoulders and keep away a chill. It is a useful and fun project to
I find a wrap like this one very useful, if not totally necessary, for traveling. I use it as a blanket, as a pillow and as it should be used, over my shoulders, to stay warm on an airplane, bus, or walking through foreign woods. Having just returned from France, this shawl 'dressed me up' in Paris and was quite suitable for market day in the small villages I visited in the South.
