I love to doodle while I work or think about work and have filled pages and pages over the years. Most of those pages end up in the recycling bin. I suppose it’s the equivalent of kids bringing home their doodles from daycare or elementary school - there is just too much to keep it all and put it on the fridge. Some of the patterns that I kept doodling over and over asked to be turned into knitting patterns, and the Tinker Doodle Collection was born. It started with a double loop cowl and a hat (both DK weight), and now it’s time for the Tinker Doodle Shawl to make an appearance. It’s light yet squishy, and a great accessory year-round. Knit knit hooray!
