Anemoia Shawl

Andrea Mowry has a new shawl pattern that you can purchase on Ravelry.

DETAILS
What are your must-have’s for a comfort knit? Mine are always squishy yarn combined with something that has areas of relaxing rhythm (hello Garter, my old friend) to balance out sections of deeper thinking (Brioche - buddy!) or interest (Nupps, anyone?). This shawl brings it all together with simple sideways shaping that creates a very easy-to-wear shawl. I hope you love it! 

SIZES
One (with notes on how to adjust to your preference) 

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Wingspan - 86”/218.5 cm 
Center Depth - 20”/51 cm 

YARN REQUIREMENTS
These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn you use (fiber content, ply, etc.), your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.

Worsted Weight Wool - Approximately 300 g/750 yds/690 m

For worsted weight yarn I would suggest Cascade 220 Superwash Merino or Malabrigo Rios. They are both soft, drapey yarns.

I haven’t purchased the pattern yet but by looking at the pictures you are knitting it from tip to tip. You are increasing to a certain number of stitches and then decreasing again. This means you can use any yarn you choose - just swatch before you start to make sure you like the fabric. 

One thing my doctor stressed is that I need to rest or I won’t start feeling better. Instead of putting yarn away after the outdoor sale I spent time today ordering yarn. Lots more yarn. Cascade 220, Cascade 220 Heathers and Lang Jawoll. Early next week I will do a large order of Cascade 220 Superwash Merino. I don’t want too many boxes arriving at once. We got notification that 3 large boxes are on the way from Hedgehog. YAY!!! And then another notification came through that the new Opal sock yarn should be here late next week. 

Dad, Beth and the dogs are heading to the cottage tomorrow. Their plan is to come home on Monday so I won’t be joining them. I’ll have a few quiet days by myself.
