Snowflakes tumbling down.
“Yuki” - snow and happiness in Japanese.

Yuki plays with the increases in the traditional square and blocking to create a shawl that mirrors the patterning of a snowflake.

(This piece is worked holding 3 strands of yarn together. Keep this in mind if you’re substituting yarns.)

…..

Shawls to Play With is a collection of 4 simple shawl patterns designed to open up a new world of shawl knitting possibilities.

It’s for knitters who might find:
tiny yarn + tiny needles + big project + crazy lace =
a little-bit intimidating
(because, really, who doesn’t find that combo intimidating?)

On the surface it’s a collection of 4 shawl patterns about simplicity, ease, elegance, expansiveness and 5 shawly articles on curiosity, play, flexibility, adventure.

But really this collection is the beginnings of a journey.

It’s about approaching your knitting with less fear, more play, less agony, more curiosity.

Shawls to Play With is the beginnings of an adventure.
