For me, I'm 42 and have never been drawn to shawls, but now that I've learned to knit (last November) I find myself very drawn to them. I have several on my list to make for myself, starting with the easier ones, of course.

I like thicker shawls, that one can wear in the winter around the house, if chilly.

| I made a triangular Solomon's knot (love-knot) triangular shawl many, many years ago. I had forgotten how to make it but a google search helped to refresh my memory. About 5-6 years ago I made one out of a synthetic mohair type yarn for my 40 yr old daughter. I made that one starting from the top and worked down to the point. I know that I used to start from the point so I figured out how to do that and I am now nearly finished with another one starting from the point for a friend of mine. Drops Design has a free pattern for this method. |

| Well, I'm two years younger than dirt, but I have yet to see anyone around here (in Kansas) wear a shawl. BUT I do keep on making them and giving them away. What the recipient does with them, I don't know. oh yes, I'm beginning to use them in the winter, curled up with my Kindle. |

Shawls are really very handy to wear and easy to put on and take off, you don't have lots of buttons to undo when all of a sudden you feel too warm.
