For the Thrill

When I wound this self-striping yarn, I practically fell out of my chair. To my delight, there were twenty beautiful stripes of rainbow goodness in each color repeat! As a longtime lover of yarn, it was exhilarating! The For the Thrill Shawl was designed to celebrate each beautiful stripe in this yarn without leaving a single color out. Combining short rows and
attached edgings, this shawl is a thrilling knit from top to bottom. You will turn your stripes on their side, rock garter stitch wedges and knit airy eyelets to create this playful crescent-shaped shawl. Best of all, your self-striping yarn will have the chance to really shine in the long stretches of vertical stripes.
