Taking Part in Westknit’s “Mystery Shawl” Knit a long

Somehow the thought of creating a shawl step by step with over a thousand people really appealed to me! The colors ideas offered got my heart beating and I couldn’t wait for it to start.

I decided to pick shades of brown and just having seen the BBC production of”Tess” made me pick a peasant farm girl color feel, although I have no idea how Steven West will put it together. I splurged and bought MadelineTosh light superwash fingering weight yarn in three shades: Rosewood, Moccasin, & Trodden.

Next step is winding them up:
