Traveling Traditions Shawl will give you a nice introduction to knitting a variety of classical lace patterns from different regions. We will cover Estonia, Orenburg, Shetland lace designs.

Knit - along with Velvet from Sunday, June 5th through July 3rd.

This lovely large shawl has been designed for successful shawl completion.

This shawl has been designed this shawl to be given out in tiny “bites” so that as you knit along with the weekly “clues” you will feel successful in the completion of each week’s instruction.

Each Sunday starting in June and continuing over 5 weeks you will be sent a small section of the shawl to work on. Each week has been designed so that working on your shawl will not consume all of you available knitting time.
