Winged Shawl with Jackie-
We will work on this one more week!
This is a wonderful pattern- surprisingly simple yet impressive as can be. Make yours out of any fingering, DK or even worsted weight yarn- striping ones seem to look the best. Make it as long as you wish. With just 2 balls of Noro Silk Garden Sock, Jackie knit hers as shown here. She added a button tab to allow her to wear it as a capelet.
For the Shawl, bring size 8-- 24" circulars, but remember- you may need to change to another size needle, depending on your yarn choice.
SILK GARDEN SOCK
So many of you know we ran out of Noro Silk Garden Sock as a result of this wonderful Shawl. Well we just received new colors- really vibrant ones- stop by soon for the best selection!
