The inspiration for The Little Grey Girl Mystery Gem for March 2020 was wool and a rural landscape feeling. I imagined walking across fields and watching newborn lambs explore the world around them, looking over to the next field where crops were sown.

Looking at the landscape from above, from a plane or Google Earth, it’s a patchwork of different textures and colours. By using a geometric lace pattern, and using different stitches in the fields, a woolly landscape emerged.

Landskap is a top-down triangular shawl, the pattern is both fully written and charted. Eden Cottage Yarns Titus 4-ply gives a fantastic drape to the finished shawl. The shawl should be knitted in a yarn that gives a good drape and handles blocking well.
