Skir Dhu Shawl
Impeccable Knits now has a Ravelry group - the Impeccable Knitters Gathering Place. You’re ever so welcome to join us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skir Dhu is the first shawl in the Along the Cabot Trail series.
’Your heart will never leave’ is promised by Cape Bretoners and, as one travels the world renowned Cabot Trail, the wonders of the island and its treasures ~ like the small community of Skir Dhu ( Gaelic for ‘black rock’) ~ it’s easy to see why. The unparalleled beauty of the land, the power and vastness of the ocean, the music, the history, the culture - all cast their spell. This shawl, the first in the Along the Cabot Trail series, will be the perfect memory!
