It's been a shawl kind of summer

Shawls shawls shawls...
Need I say more???
It's been a shawl kind of summer. Naturally the thought of heavy sweaters and scarves have been on the back burner for the humid sunny season. If you're like me (and I'm sure many of you are NOT, since I seem to be the only one on the planet who is not obsessed with socks), then you need to knit something light and drapey in the summer.
Shawls it is!...and shawls it was. Oy... I may have gotten carried away. Of course, along with these 3 FO's, there are 2 shawl WIP currently on the needles...can we say "PROBLEM?"
Here are my 3 completed summer 2016 shawl projects heaped into one convenient post!
