I've included some links below for instructions on doing a ripple stitch pattern. You can choose any stitch pattern you like and turn it into a shawl. Figure out how many stitches are in a repeat.
Make a test swatch to determine how wide a repeat is. Figure out how wide you want your shawl to be and divide that by the number of inches in one repeat to determine how many repeats you need.
Chain 54 stitches or desired width of shawl. Chain 1, turn, single crochet in each of the stitches to end. Chain 3 and turn.
Double crochet in top of each single crochet. Repeat this row 2 more times. Chain 1 and do 1 row of single crochet to end.
Chain 3 and turn.Do 3 rows of double crochet. Repeat pattern to end (1 row single, 3 rows double)End with 1 row of single. Finish with fringe.
Adjust the width and size of hook or use another 1/2 skein.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
