Weekend knitting time! I’ve got some fun adventu Weekend knitting time! I’ve got some fun adventures ahead today but it’s always good to start with some yarn.
Get ready! My first shawl release in almost a year Get ready! My first shawl release in almost a year is coming next month. The Thalassic Shawl was originally published in Cast On Magazine a couple years ago, and I’ve been sitting on this pattern ever since. It’s time to share it. This is an asymmetric triangle shawl knit with a combo of fingering-weight wool and lace-weight mohair for warmth but not weight. You can sub a single strand of DK-weight yarn but it will make for a denser, heavier fabric. Siri alpaca can be a good sub for the mohair if mohair is itchy for you but you want to preserve the lightness. Yarn support for this design was kindly provided by @hedgehogfibres.

I’ve spent the last seven designing knitting patterns, which introduced a whole new dynamic to my knitting practice. Letting go of these three things helped so much.
