I am having so much fun exploring indy dyed yarns AND shawl design.

Here, in my second design, I combine a dyer who I have followed for many years, A Verb for Keeping Warm and a classic crescent shawl shape to create a modern, wearable statement shawl.

A classic garter stitch crescent shawl, SINUOUS is a bold, modern and wearable statement piece. Shown in one of my favorite yarns, A Verb for Keeping Warm Annapurna in color Old Vine. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this yarn is to work with. The natural dye colors are incredibly beautiful and the feel is luxurious to the touch and the drape is sublime.

SINUOUS is an easy knit with just enough interest to keep you interested to the end and finished with a lovely I-cord edge. Once off the needles, you will love how elegant you feel when wrapped up in your own SINUOUS!
