This will be a read a long as well as a Knit a Long. The Book: The Wives: The Women Behind Russian Literary Giants by Alexandra Popoff. There are 6 couples, and in order to read and knit each shawl, we will give 2 months to each. A new pattern will be released every other month. Plus a bonus sock pattern while you wait for the start in January 2018.
You will receive a basic Materials List, Swatch Details, a bibliography or recommended supplement materials, and discussion questions Two Weeks Before the pattern. This should give you time to shop for the yarn and have it shipped to you, in case an LYS is not nearby or your stash seems lacking.
Shawl Schedule 1: January 12 2: March 3: May 4: July 5: September 6: November
