You are invited to help us celebrate in any way you wish – knit just one design, knit several, knit from stash, knit with yarn from your favourite LYS – or sign up for exciting celebratory kits from Yarn Culture.

For the prologue design, Abraxas Crescent, Yarn Culture has assembled pretty Gallivant yarn sets.

But please join in the celebration!

(yarn sets and collaborations in Europe are also underway)

Abraxas Crescent is knitted top down from a Winding Provisional Cast On to make a Tricosa tab that sets up a mistake-rib border.
A simple hourglass pattern lends beautiful texture in an intuitive knitting rhythm, and a makes for a nicely, squishy texture. The shawl expands rapidly to form a shoulder-hugging crescent. A generously flared final border completes the shawl, flowing from the mistake rib along the top edge.

Every row is written out. There are also separate instructions for knitting from entirely from charts.

There is no curated kit for the prologue design, but if you are not knitting from stash nor have a specific yarn in mind, and want something truly special, Yarn Culture has recently launched their new yarn, Gallivant, a silken blend of alpaca, silk, and cashmere.
