I love love love this shawl. I don’t even know how it really came about. I started knitting this in the car while my parents were here for Christmas just as something to do. The end result is just stunning!
Using just slipped stitches and a simple right twist stitch you get such a neat effect. Also? I added loops!

The loops are super handy becuase you can secure the shawl around your neck and never worry about it slipping off!
Also the loops are just neat.
I really like the look of this pattern! Now I’m imagining all the different colour combinations I could use in something like this!
Love this one. Can’t wait to see all the colour combo’s made with it.
Hi Preita, you have some lovely shawls there. I’ll be buying some of them. Right now I have your channel islands shawl pattern. I’m trying to get that knitted up. I’m hoping you can give me some help with interpreting short rows. I’ve watched several vids now about them and I’m probably more inexperienced than you are accustomed to but I am fearless none the less. Can you email me with some help with short rows? I’m hoping you can see my email address since I filled out the form.
Wow- you are on a roll!
Oooh, beautiful! And I really love the loops!
Fabulous!!
Congrats on Strigose, love the loops!
Just wanted to let you know, I finished Frankenfine and loved it! Wrote up a review on my blog and am having a giveaway for someone to win a copy of your book. Hoping there is more in the series to come!
