Marled Thundercloud Shawl

Start gathering your fingering leftovers. Stephen West has a great new pattern. This reminds me of a Kaffe Fassett coat that I knit 25 years ago.

The newest shawls in the Modular Coloring Shawls e-book are here! Add to your modular knitting collection with the Striped Thundercloud Shawl and the Marled Thundercloud Shawl! These top-down shawls are knit entirely in garter stitch, with each new section attached to the previous section. Modular knitting is the perfect opportunity to play with color and I can't wait to see all of the beautiful Thundercloud shawls you knit up!

Do you love marling? Gather a colorful pile of fingering weight yarn to knit this marled masterpiece! The instructions include three sizes to help you stashbust your fingering weight yarns by holding two strands together throughout the entire project. Let your imagination run wild as you customize the colors and create a unique color story from your yarn collection!

You can purchase the pattern for the Marled Thundercloud Shawl on Ravelry.

What a great shawl! There are 3 sizes available. Stephen is wearing the largest size.

Sample shown in Large size. It’s a massive shlanket! The sizes are easy to customize by simply binding off each section early. I love the Large size as a cozy marled blanket for the couch. The small size is a very nice and generous size as well. 

Lynn and I started getting the yarn in order for Saturday. We have a lot of hand dyed. Some I forgot about. There are a few skeins of Adelaide from Primrose. 

We found some skeins of Urth

This is a box of Dream in Color including Starry - a sock weight yarn with sparkle.

These are a discontinued Freia Fingering weight. The yarn is a wool and nylon blend which can be used for socks or shawls.

My dad has a big concrete pour on Thursday so Beth and I have been busy baking for the guys. If dad doesn’t show up with treats they might revolt. It’s time to get brownies out of the oven and then put my feet up for baseball and hockey.
