Traditional Danish Tie Shawl

Living in an old house in Michigan, my shoulders are often cold in thewinter.  Four years ago, I made myself a poncho to wear in the house.  Iwore it a few times but the neck just kept getting bigger and the front of the poncho was often in my way when I tried to do anything.The other day I was looking through the Spring 2008 issue of Spin Off  and saw an article on the Traditional Danish Shawl.  The shawl covers the shoulders, crosses in the front and ties in the back.  It looks like the perfect style to wear indoors and still be able to get things done. I promptly ripped out the old poncho and started a shawl from the pattern in the magazine.It is easy knitting.Some days that is just what I need.  Easy knitting.
