As I said when introducing this shawl, I like to keep the drape the same. “I try to wear the shawls in the same orientation each time so that wear patterns are consistent … I made an indicator by tying two tassels together.” [Useful Art for Everyday, New Shawl, 3rd photo]
Unfortunately, the clever little knot proved too hard to find. However carefully I put the shawl down, I seem to pick it up upside down. Cue looking at each corner for the label or the tassel. Now I can hold it up and locate the bottom left corner.
Made a similar marker for the other shawl. [Introducting Shawlene, Handmade, Wearable Art]
Sidenote. I did not remain enamored of the name. Remain enamored of both shawls.
Onwards!
