Bibblebobble Shawl

I decided that a silly name was in order as I feel like a little silliness and escapism for the pure sake of it could do me – and hopefully you – some good right now. And what is more fun than bobbles!

This shawl was created with worsted weight yarn that I had in smaller quantities. The play and the fun for me was working with colour and stripes and texture. I started with the colours as my jumping off point and began to play. This works well both with yarns of different textures and yarns of a similar or identical texture.

For me, this knit became pure joy and offered a lot of fun and squishy comfort as I went along.

Hope it will bring you some joy as well!
