This wedge-shaped shawl is worked from the bottom up. You can work it in either two colors as shown, in one color, or (not shown) in one color for the body and cable section, and a second color for the lace.

I love waterfall hikes! There are some really neat ones in the Los Angeles area (especially if we’ve had a wet winter).

One of the best is Escondido Falls in Malibu. We brought our dog Rigel with us when we did this hike back in 2009. You can read about the hike here.
