I'm on a shawl kick...

I read my last entry and it's hard to believe that only a month and a half ago, it was snowing like a biotch!! Now, it's in the 70s/80s and humid.... I really need to get back to the desert.... I'm still 'shawling'. So far, I've made 5 Seraphina shawls. One, I gave to my b/f for his Mom for Mother's Day, one I still have to send out to my one g/f and the other 3, I'll probably keep. I've been trying to find a cheap cotton/acrylic blend in the craft stores but so far, all I could really find in a blend was Bernat Denim Style. It was okay to work with but it tangled so easily that I had to unwind the skein into a ball... first time I've EVER had to do that with any yarn, at least starting the skein out. With bigger skeins like the one pounders, near the end, I find that I have to stop and wind the rest into a ball so I don't have to stop every few stitches to untangle the yarn. I'm still working on knitted shawls, just simple garter stitch....
