The Travelogue shawl records your travels. The idea is simple: Pick up single skeins of yarn on your next trip; choose stitch patterns that remind you of places, architecture, or landscapes that you’ve seen; and knit as you go.

This is a project ripe for experimentation. Change the weight of yarn. Change the stitch patterns. Make it your own! Guidelines are included to let you know what to be aware of when you do decide to make changes.
