This shawl is an ode to cold, calm, and white snowy days that winter gracefully give us sometimes. The shawl starts at the centre edge and is worked as a half-pi shaped shawl. Its double yarn over stitch pattern progress throughout the body of the shawl getting more scattered as you progress. The stripy lace border is then worked in German Short Rows. Short rows are really simple to work and they are almost invisible on stocking stitch. This way the border almost blends in the shawl body.

Sometimes colours speak to me, and sometimes it does not. As right now. I choose colours which worked together “on paper” but actually did not once knitted. I trusted my choices every time and even almost started without swatching at all. Well, I’m glad I did and you should too when it’s about colourwork.

Being a one-woman company can sometimes feels a bit like being an orchestra-woman. I’m taking all my pattern pictures by myself, with my camera and a tripod. And sometimes it gets really tricky… And funny!
