Tanumshede
If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.
Tanumshede is known for its Bronze age rock carvings, with various motifs featuring longships, animals and people. These were carved into the granite rocks 1800-500BC. There are close to 1500 known rock carvings in the area, and more are being discovered.
The motifs depict a longship carrying a deer, dating back to 1200-1050 BC, and a sun horse. The beliefs of the time was that the sun was pulled across the sky by a horse.
Tanumshede is the second shawl in a set of three released as part of the World Heritage KAL by Knit & Knag Designs. The other two shawls in the series are L’Anse Aux Meadows and Jelling Rune Stones.
The patterns are available in English, French and German.
