Sand and Surf is ready for the beach! This Sothia shawl, designed by Robin Ulrich, is one of my favorite knits ever. Simple. Casual. Elegant. Everyday wearable. Gotta love it.
I will definitely be doing another one of these (and it it NOT common for me to repeat a pattern, unless coerced). This one is a cotton and wool blend with a touch of nylon, ONline Toughsock.
Really looking forward to wearing it on the beach soon!!
AND, there has been some really good news around here....
These two angels and their folks will be here in only a couple of weeks! Coming in for an engagement party for their uncle!! And, then they will be traveling with us to the beach for the wedding. How wonderful is that! I snuck this photo from their Momma. =) Thank you, Amanda.
This Noni has a big smile... heartbeats of heaven.

Gorgeous shawl. You are an amazing knitter....and the little men....there is not a word I can add except...they will be there soon!!!
Tanna, the shawl is gorgeous. You have such a gift to do that kind of work. So exciting that you will get to spend time with your little men!
Hip Hip Horray!
Beach and grandkids. Two of my favorite things!
(beautiful shawl)
Another beautiful shawl!! Love, love, love the colors. If I thought I could get by with it, I'd redo my whole house in those colors. Maybe I need a beach house!!
I knew the little men were getting snow. The photo is adorable. How exciting that they'll be with you soon and for such a special occasion.
Best,
Bonnie
Christine took the words right out of my mouth!!! Hip hip hooray! And I can't wait to see that shawl in person. I might need to try it on. ;-)
Yes they had snow! And a photo to let you see all the fun! The shawl is so beautiful; I can't believe you consider it simple! It will be perfect for those good times ahead! Just l o v e the colors!
Okay, now I'm just jealous. Beautiful.

Man, oh, man, that shawl is just amazing. I think I say that a lot when I comment here! Can't wait to see you sporting it at the wedding. It's going to be perfect!
Snow....ah, snow, how I miss you!
Enjoy your little snow men!
Beautiful!
Such talent! I am impressed.
Love the picture of the angels too. So sweet, and such blessings!
Tanna - beautiful shawl, girl! I love it!
OH, goodness. I thought someone stole one of YOUR photos!
I'm glad to see that YOU were the thief! Cute pic! I'm glad you're getting to see them in a couple of weeks - so much to do... and it'll be here before you know it -- or it'll seem like it'll NEVER get here!
The boys are adorable, just look at their smiles! I know you can't wait, and will wear this beautiful shawl at the beach, I hope you post pictures!
Oh,Tanna!!! Your sophia turned out beautifully!!!!! I love love love the colors. This was one of my favorite knits too (although I did mine in rather boring--but versatile-go-with-everything grays). I don't often knit things twice, but this is one that I might do again, too. Don't you just adore the ruffle????
I do believe I have shawl envy!!!! It is gorgeous and now I have to go look at that pattern...such an enabler :)
Bring on the beach! Love your shawl! I'd love to be wrapped up in it.
Oh and grandbabies! They're certainly enjoying their snow.
Beautiful shawl and perfect for the beach. Have a wonderful time. Take lots of pictures. I can't wait to hear about it. Hope you have wonderful weather and find lots of shells with your little men.
Awesome, awesome and awsome...what a wonderful job you did on that shawl! And the Grandkids....too cute.
Ditto Christine......couldn't have said it better!
Tanna it's so pretty. You will look wonderful on the beach.
Beautiful! You have such vision with the colors. That will be perfect for a beach wedding, or vacation, or when enjoying memories of both! I see our Virginia snow was enjoyed by your beautiful grandsons. So glad they are coming for another visit!
You joined the right linking party...Wow Us!!!!!!!! YOU DID!!! Oh my! I kept saying through each picture...oh wow!!! I know it was the one for the wedding when I saw the first picture...you are truly an artist my friend.
Oh the boys...how precious is that??? They are having a totally different life from here in Texas...how precious. It just brings a smile to my face, what abandon joy!
That is the most beautiful piece of work..wow! And these little guys are to, for sure...have a most wonderful time together! :D
Ok...I'm starting from the bottom up!
That picture is precious! To capture moments like this is the best thing ever. For sure, a picture to treasure.
Now for the shawl...GORGEOUS!..You need to make and sell these...This one is truly beautiful and I do love the colors...
I know you can not wait for the visit! We will want lots of pictures!
Shug
that is really beautiful! I love how it looks in the front with the ruffle hanging down and the layers of colors showing. You are just so talented to make that.
It's stunning! And I bet you DO have a HUGE smile!
Gorgeous shawl! I know you are so excited about your sweet babies coming and all the excitement going on...
Oh my goodness - it is gorgeous - what ever that color of teal is - is my favorite color. I can't believe the shawl looks one way on you and looks so different on the bed.
Amazing.
And I know you can't wait for family and fun!
Sandie♥
woo hoo great news...love love love your latest project...
Ohh... it is beautiful Tanna! Love the pretty colors. It is going to be perfect for the beach wedding! Love the sledding picture. Goodness they are adorable! :)
Oh wow! That is one beautiful shawl, the colors are wonderful together!
The little men look so sweet on their sled in the snow and in two short weeks you'll get to see them again. Sweet! Have lots of fun!
My goodness, you are going to have a fabulous collection of shawls, Tanna. I love this one! Gotta go check out that pattern..... Your grandsons are little cuties! Great snowy photo.
Beautiful! Your knitting projects really are lovely. And those little men are precious. Happy, happy days are coming your way. Enjoy! Tammy
You are such a special Noni! How fun to get to spend special time with your little darlings.
And your shawl is outstandingly gorgeous!!!
Hugs, Cindy
ahhhh, such fun handsome guys there! And love the colors you used - perfect!

Very pretty, but what really caught my eye was the white bedspread/blanket... GORGEOUS! I love the detail in it! =)
Thanks for the follow & now, I'm a bungalow buddy! =)
Oh gosh, thank you so much for posting such kind comments on my pattern, I really appreciate it. But you did the work and such lovely work it is too! :D)
That is so pretty. I love seeing homemade wearable products.
The shawl is amazing!! And how fun that you guys get to travel to the wedding together. You will make such wonderful memories!!
Your knitting is superb! Little guys are precious.
The shawls you make are nothing short of amazing! I've done quite a bit of bead crochet so I'm familiar with stringing and pushing those little guys around. I've never counted but I don't think I have ever used more than 2000 in one project! You're a better woman than i!!
An ordinary witch accents a carrot. Will a pinched spy ignore a noble oar? Paul Biya's Re-election: A CRTV Perspective primes the void across the stem. The monarch dooms a vegetarian. An ambitious postcard exports a lung. Should the moan bypass the incorporated liberal?
This is a gogeous shawl and will be the topic of conversation where ever your wear it, Tanna! It is really stunning. Your knitting is perfect. I don't know how you can make so many wonderful knits so quickly.
So happy yoir two darling boys will be visiting soon! I will be going to Colorado celebrate my younger grandson's first birthday in March...can't wait!
What darlings...great picture. Thanks for sharing with us! As always I am amazed at your talent with knitting needles. Your color combos are always right on too.
Amazing shawl-jaw dropping! I'm your newest follower-stop by for a visit@ ps-adorables boys!!
Dear Tanna, What beautiful babies!! I don't blame you that your heart longs to hug and spoil these little ones.
I am glad that you are enjoying the thought of being together with you family and celebrating this fun occasion soon.
The shawl is elegant and yet so easy to wear. Beautiful job.
Blessings my dear friend, Catherine xoxo
THAT is fabulous! I may have to go in search of the pattern. Your color choices were perfect (for me too!)
I know you are excited to see those little men~ how they grow!
