Inca Inspired Shawl
I can’t imagine how quickly time goes by, the first half of the year has already passed. So, it’s about time to start preparing projects for cold months, and see what is needed to work them.
As a matter of fact, I didn’t do many pieces that can be called summer projects, such as doilies, light shawls and baby cotton blankets, because almost all my yarn stash this year has been bulky and woolly.
This project’s yarn is an old fine wool, originally designated for making socks. I purchased it more than ten years ago. It’s obvious that I can’t design adult socks, so I was inspired lately by the Inca old clothing to turn it into a light shawl with fringes, it’s simple, yet elegant, and suitable for many outdoor occasions. I hope you have fun knitting it.
