Hello Friends!
Summer is almost over, which means that in just a few weeks my sailing days will come to an end for the 2021 season. For much of the summer I have been knitting a new shawl inspired by sailing downwind, when you can have the foresail out on one side of the mast and the mainsail out on the other, which is called wing-and-wing. As soon as I started the stripes on this new shawl, that was all I could think of!
WING-and-WING is a traditional triangle shawl with stunning colorful stripes! It is an engaging and easy knit, working simple intarsia (only working 2 colors at a time) to stunning results. And the finishing, with I-cord edging all around make perfectly finished edges. And, you know I love a tassel…. the optional tassel at the shawl’s bottom point is exquisite.
WING-and-WING is big enough to wrap yourself up in and is a colorful addition to the back of a chair or couch. The WING-and-WING shawl pattern is now live on Ravelry and LoveCrafts!
I used the amazing Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio DK, which is 100% organic Merino Wool dyed to the most amazing colors! I bought the yarn at Wild Hand in Philadelphia (my favorite local fiber shop) and credit Liz, the owner, with the fabulous color selection. I used the colors Lake Evesham (MC), Rosemont (A), Penn North (B), Logan Circle (C), Bromo (D) and Concord grape (E). You really want to take this opportunity to try Neighborhood Fiber Co. yarns and please consider supporting your local shop or check out Wild Hand’s online shop!
