Its been created as part of the Outlander KAL in conjunction with Honey Girl Farm Yarns.

The style of shawl I wanted to create was one of historical origin with a twist of my own so the Sontag style was used as a base from which to work on.

The shawl can be made bigger if wished by incorporating a third skein into the piece, and directions are included to do so.

Each of the KAL pieces this year relate to a season or book from the Outlander story and the name of the shawl is from Midhope Castle, the building used to portray Lallybroch in the television series.
I very much look forward to seeing the colours that are chosen to create this shawl in.
