"Guest Design from Creations by Courtney on the Joy of Motion Blog. The Sand to Sea Shawl is the perfect layering accessory for chilly days or a night out to dinner. You can add beads to the wave stitches for a touch of bling, or you can choose a sparkly yarn for your bling. Be prepared to be stopped and asked, “Where did you get that fabulous shawl?” With a large grin, you can reply, “I made it!” You’ll learn how to do short rows, attach two pieces of crochet while you work, and add beads without having to sew them on afterwards! Don’t let it intimidate you. Just remember to read the pattern before beginning, and to take your time."
