Hello knitters! As the last days of spring are soon to pass and summer is fast approaching, it is high time for me to switch to some cotton and light yarn projects, and what’s better than a lacy and light shawl to wear over your tank top or swimsuit, or when it gets chilly at night. I had previously worked with Scheepjes yarn more than two years ago (see Wrap Me in Sunshine Shawl). Many of you have shown love for that project, to which I am eternally humbled and grateful, however I didn’t have plans to buy more (see rant about fine yarn above). But since I received it as a gift (again!), I decided to use it, making a simpler design this time. It is an asymmetrical shawl that starts with flowing lines, appearing once you’ve repeated the general pattern several times, followed by a stripe of eyelets along the wider side, and that is it. It’s a beautiful and elegant one-cake shawl, and I hope you find it interesting and make one for yourselves this summer.
