On the 18th November 2019, our much loved Olaf passed away in our arms. He had been sick for a few months with kidney disease and we knew our time with him would be measured in weeks, not years. He was a big old cinnamon Burmese and litter mate to Mokey. His passing hit us hard, but watching Mokey grieve was the worst.
Little did we know that even as he was closing the door on his way out, he was also busy opening not one, but two little windows… Their names would be Oliver and Lilith and they would be born just two days later.
While the three of them never met, the timing of his passing and their birth has always been connected in our minds and those little balls of fluff would bring us much joy and healing.

This, is Olaf’s Legacy.

Olaf’s Legacy is a rectangular lace shawl with beads, nupps and ribbing. It’s knit in 800m of 4ply/fingering weight yarn and is knit in a single piece from one end to the other.
This is an ideal entry into lace knitting thanks to the heavier weight yarn.
