Well, more like I was reminded! A friend brought her finished Forget-Me-Not Shawlette to knitting a couple of weeks ago and reminded me about the kit that I bought at Yarnover, 2015 (upper left corner of this picture):
Linda had knit her shawlette “crescent style.” She said the instructions were included in her pattern, but they were not in my version. I faked it and came up with my own crescent Forget-Me-Not:
It is so cute! I love the colors and love the feel of the fabric. I hope that when next fall rolls around, I will not forget this little cutie, though it does go with a light blue linen shirt that I wear in the summer! Fast knit and nice results!
PS to Anne C.: Anne asked how I wear these small, triangular shawlettes. It varies depending on their size somewhat. This one is small and not slippery. I tied it in the back and let the ends hang down and it stayed in place, but I didn’t wear it very long. If needed, I think I would pin it invisibly so it would hang down in back and just look tied (not in a full knot). Kathy W. wore one of these at knitting recently. She tied the ends in a knot and wore the point slightly to one side — it looked super cute!!
PS2 to Susan — I have made numbers 1, 4, and 5 (there are two 5’s, the StevenBe’s Alchechini — one kit was for Surly and she has not made hers yet!). Number 4 was this little necklace. 2 & 3 are still marinating!!!
That yarn and that design go together beautifully. Lovely work, as usual.

Very nice!

Nicely done, as usual. A question: when you wear a shawlette like this, do you just tie the ends in the back, or wrap them back around in front and tuck under? I haven’t figured out the best way to wear these small triangles yet…

It’s lovely!
Unrelated question:. How many of the other lovelies in the picture are finished objects?
