I've been wanting to make myself a pocket shawl for the longest time. For someone who does a lot of sitting on the couch - it is, after all, where I do my best work - a pocket shawl is a wonderful, cozy accessory. The shawl itself is warm enough to keep the chill away, and the pockets are large enough to hold my hook and a skein of yarn, which means less time searching for that hook that magically disappeared when I got up from my seat and more time working on my designs!
