“The glacier slowly advances;
A storm front quickly passes;
Snow falls soft upon the land
and click goes the needles
using strand after strand”

Ice and snow and glaciers combine to inspire this shawl! As the temperatures grow colder, the nights grow longer, and we as knitters find ourselves in need of some knitted warmth, may I humbly suggest this little shawl of mine?

Glaciation is a shawl of gorgeous drape, shape, and chilly escape from your normal knitting! Are you ready to have some fun and knit this wonderfully warm and fun shawl?

The shawl uses short-rows and stripes along with some textural yarn changes to create this beautifully drapey, gorgeous piece that’s sure to impress your knitting friends!
