I dare you to say "Miranda's Sea Shawl by the Seashore" 3 times fast! July, Garilynn came up with a beautiful and versatile shawl pattern- I think this pattern will become quite popular in the next few months when the weather begins to turn cooler and folks need a little something extra about them. I love the idea of spinning your own shawl and Garilynn has included fiber from WCMercantile for you to try in this kit.
In this pattern, Garilynn talks about how she notices that in Waterhouse's depiction of Miranda, she's not wearing any sort of shawl though the weather is obviously violent- see above picture from www.jwwaterhouse.com and I think it's very cool that she would notice this! Maybe it was intentional- showing how vulnerable the Miranda character is when the shipwreck occurs?
At any rate, this is an easy and versatile pattern and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that would be such a fun project to complete! Add me to the giveaway, please.
ReplyDeleteI went to the shop, and immediately I was drawn to their Knit Stitch Graph Paper. I got into fair isle knitting a few months ago and spent umptine hours creating graphs.. And knit stitches are not square! This really looks like a better way to graph fair isle and I just might have to break down and buy myself some.
