It started with machines. Cogs, metal, hard, mechanic.
This hard inspiration met my love of yarn and the construction, the mechanics, the maths of knitting.
As per usual, I landed in the knit stitch. Our cog in the machinery. From the front. From the back.
Two sides of the same stitch, coin, cog.

The shawl is reversible and beautiful however you wrap it around you. From the inside out. All the way out to the lace - The cogs.

ROTOR is knit from the middle and outwards. It features details like “reversible middle stitches”, I-cord tab cast on and I-cord edges. The panels of stockinette stitch alter, adding purlsides and knitsides to both sides.

If you choose to use another yarn, I would recommend solids to semisolids and variegated, but I would stay away from the self striping for this one…
