Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great end to your week (or whenever you happen to be watching this). All links are in the description. ❤

This is about sweater construction- Cocoknits has a whole methodolgy about knitting sweaters that way you describe. Also Ysola's latest sweater design, Gullane, is constructed that way and she asserts that it gives the shoulders that needed structure similar to sweaters that are sewn in pieces. Knitting the back and then picking up the stitches also allows for set in sleeves which is often a more fitted look that raglan or drop shoulder.

The long nipple tassel parts are perfect for tying and hanging or tucking under the bulk of the shawl. You don't have to try too hard. The not trying hard usually turns out looking more natural.

Hey Shawl Girl, have you never been to Europe in the fall? Well, you must go sometime and watch all the fabulously gorgeous women wearing their shawls in every way imaginable--they all look like Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn with their beautiful hand knit shawls draped around their necks and pulled up to warm their ears. Maybe it's because you live in the desert that you just struggle with it. But the traditional Keffiyeh is mainly worn on top of the head, only sometimes draped around the neck. Anyway, your fabric and the yarn are so amazing! And the garter tab (the section at the beginning of the shawl) should be blocked as a straight line, so you have a crescent shawl when you do that! I hope you will make more and share your adventure with us!

I think you’re overthinking it, it looks really cute wrapped around like thay

Hi T: I'm actually making the Hollows shawl at the moment (based on your recommendation, also it's been in my faves for a while). I'm not all the way through but here's my current take: The shawl is a crescent, according to the designer. Many projects show that strange shape you've got happening but I suspect that's because they didn't block the shawl with wires and pins (something you have to do with a crescent, or the cast on tab points away from the apex of the shawl instead of lying flat (because that edge is supposed to be straight). I think you've got the strange shape happening potentially for that reason (at the cast on side of the object) and potentially for another reason: Did you leave out the third short row section? If yes, then I don't believe that the shawl would be a crescent because that segment, as an offset to the first 2 short row sections, is what gives the shawl its final shape, as I'm currently understanding things. I'll let you know if I see things differently once I finish mine. Oh - just found this video that Melody put together: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJp2daZ00OCck4U.html. At ~5min she talks about the need for serious blocking (which is how it's gone with every crescent shawl I've ever made).

Shawls are not just for around your neck. I have knit plenty and wear them more for covering my shoulders. Wrap the shawl around your back neck with then,eft side shorter than the right. Take the long right side and now toss it over your left shoulder crossing the front of your body. Easy and casual yet elegant.

In my experience shawls usually come off the needles in that shape. I usually just block it really aggressively, by threading blocking wires through all the edges I want to be straight and then hanging it up by the longest straight edge and using weights to pull it into shape --- I've gone so far as to bend paperclips into S-hooks and then use spice jars and rubber bands to add weight as needed. Bonus of this method is that it dries very quickly, especially if there's a bit of a breeze!

I agree with the other comments to not overthink the shawl arrangement - it looked fantastic when you just threw it on 😊 and it is a beautiful shawl!

You got this, Tayler, just hide the knot UNDER the wider part, or, wrap each end up closer to your neck under the center part. Easy peasy.

By the way, 'eun' is the Scottish Gaelic word for 'lamb' and is pronounced like the name Ian.

I don’t mind the dangling points except when they dip into the dishpan. Yes, I wear shawls to wash dishes if I’m chilly. Beats getting sweater sleeves soaking wet! 😊 Dawn at Frivolous and Frugal on YT is knitting the Hollows shawl in a muted blue. Seeing it twice now, I want to make it! I’m currently knitting the Lost Horse shawl (inspired by Joshua Tree NP) by Kacey Herlihy, a collaboration with Yarn Citizen, the recent venture by Jimmy Beans Wool. I really want to try the Yarn Citizen yarn, but in the spirit of the endeavor, which is reducing global fiber waste, I decided to pull some thrifted yarn from my stash.

😂LOL " Nipple tassel ends. That's just the first thing that popped into my head." LOL 😆 🤣 😅 🤣 ROFL fast forward.....knitting the sweater..continue knitting in the round.. " Bob's your uncle." 😂😅 Thank you, Taylor 😅😂 I needed that. Can I get that on a mug... and.." Bob's your uncle." Why is that so funny?!😅😅still laughing...am I drunk? 🤣 😂 🤣 knitting baby sweater 😆 😅❤

I know shawls that start in the top center need to be blocked away from that hill you get. I used to pin these things *wet* to a wall and let gravity really tug it into a crescent. Seems harsh but it worked.

It took me two shawls to figure out that I will never wear a shawl. Getting bored with just socks and hats, and having to face the fact that I'm not wired for shawls, finally gave me the incentive to become a sweater knitter. It takes a lot to resist all the shawl love in the knitting world, but in the end you just have to know yourself!

With a shawl that shape I often put the two tails together and fold in half. Then wrap around the neck. Then poke the tails through the space created by folding the shawl in half. Let everything hang. Or split the tails. Hope this makes sense. The way you did it works too! ❤

You've arranged it several times and they all look lovely. When you wear it, nobody can see the shape of it. So don’t fret. You look comfortable and pretty wearing your beautiful new shawl.

Your comments on seamless sweaters and pho seams reminded me of a statement that Elizabeth Zimmermann wrote in her book "Knitting Without Tears", copyrighted in 1971. This book is loaded with her comments, thoughts, tips, and instructions. It is a good book for any knitter to have in a knitting reference library. Chapter 1 is Titled The Opinionated Knitter and she has a section about Phoney Seams on page 36. She states "Opponents of circular sweaters - and there are unfortunately some - take as one argument the theory that being without seams, circular sweaters don't hang together properly. A fallacious argument if ever I heard one, but let us refute it by putting in imitation seams,..." and she continues to explain how to add phoney seams. I really like top-down, seamless sweaters so it made me quite happy that Elizabeth Zimmermann shared this opinion. And I also agree with the title of this chapter. After all, aren't we all opinionated knitters, each having our preferred way to accomplish various knitting features.

Love the shawl…that color is gorgeous!! 🤩

Love your little “outtakes “ at the end. 😂😂

I love the way you’re wearing the Hollow Shawl!

You're podcasts are always a guaranteed laugh. Thank you for all the joy ❤

The shawl is gorgeous and you wrapped it perfectly!

I love the color of your Kelbourne yarn!!

You crack me up! I like how you are wearing it now.😊

Love your shawl and your sweaters in the making. The yarns are lovely and the patterns fantastic. Great color choices as well. Thanks for sharing!😊

This sweater has been in my queue for so long as well! I Have the yarn picked out and in a bag ready to go, just need to get started!

Sweater no. 18 has been on my cue for a long time. I'm glad to see you're enjoying working on it; it might get me to cast it on sooner than I was thinking.

I love your new sweater projects. Both of them seem interesting and easy to knit. I'm going to to be watching, and maybe copying!

I was in the same space as you were this week Tayler with the shawl, it was my first one and I could knit more or bind off which I did. I love jumpers with no seams too, that one looks so lovely 🥰

The Hollow Shawl looks great on you. So glad you chose to bind off early.

The construction of your sweater is very interesting. Can’t wait to see it finished

Shawl looks great and you're wearing it perfectly. long bits for easy fastening, wide bits for warmth in front... welcome to shawls!! Think of them as jewelry made of yarn!!

Great Shops! Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤

The shawl looks gorgeous as you’ve arranged it. These work beautifully to transition us into cooler weather, as an add-on to jeans and a short sleeved t-shirt. It’s amazing how, even with bare arms, adding a wooly bit at the neck or over the shoulders just raises your body temp enough to ward off a little chill.

I love your podcast.

I love your shawl! The yarn, the color, and the way you styled it. The pattern is different from the norm, which I think is a plus!

That shawl is gorgeous and it looks fabulous on you the way you have it on.

I think it's lovely!!

I wear all my shawls as scarfs so I think the shawl looks perfect styled like this!

Ima gonna hafta knit that Hollows shawl..gorgeous!! Heading over to Ravelry now!! I love the color you used. No rules about wearing...just do what is comfortable...they always look fab ;-)

Missus Earl, your shawl looks great! There's a bunch of headwrap and scarf tying videos I watched, before finding a workable one I liked. It's like pattern browsing.

I love how many danish designers you featured today... All my favorites too 😊❤

hi Tayler, I'm working on the Cardamom sweater from TwinKnits. Although a raglan, I fell in love with lines of the ribbin on the shoulder

Love the seamless puzzle sweater construction !! Anything to avoid sewing a seam lol

I love the look of a drop shoulder sweater construction! Especially in a sweater with a lot of positive ease. I can’t wait to see how your sweater looks after blocking!

Love both the sweater and the shawl as well as the yarn/color choices for these projects!!! I am currently working on the Harlow V Neck sweater by Caidree and it seems to have a similar construction as your WIP sweater except mine doesn't have a texture pattern on it.

It’s good to hear your thought processes as you discuss your knits and your plans, helps me to think of things about what I’m doing too; choosing the right yarn, the right pattern, or just starting over if you don’t like where the project is going. I have not made a sweater with that construction until just recently, and probably would have saved me some consternation on my process has I heard your description. Thanks!

Everything that you said about the Sweater 18, I am experiencing at the same time as I knit the Lakes Pullover by Ozetta. It's a saddle shoulder sweater and I haven't ever knit this construction but I am having so much fun with it right now!

The shawl is a strange shape but would it have changed and made sense if you continued with it? I’m not a shawl wearer or maker so I have no clue how to style it. Ok, I really have no style anyway! 🤣🤣🤣 The last sweater WIP is very interesting and intriguing, I can’t wait to see it done! 🌵

I am working on an Irish moss stitch sweater. Looks similar to yours, I’m enjoying it. I just finished the salty days sweater which sounds like the same construction type as your sweater. I enjoyed it and hadn’t done that type of construction before. I am not sure I like the sweater on me though 😂. Dropped shoulder doesn’t look great on my inverted triangle shape but oh well, I’ll wear it anyways because it took me a billion hours to knit 😅. I have found the sweater doesn’t droop as much in the armscye as a raglan sweater but it is still new so it might over time.

I just finished Jacket no. 1 of my favorite things knitwear. Its the cardigan version of that pullover. It's a good one.😊

😄 I feel he same about wearing shawls...

I also have the Eun Sweater on my to knit list for this fall. It looks so cozy and they giant split hem is just to die for 😍😍

Your shawl is lovely and wear how you are comfortable with it!! I am knitting a shawl right now! And why I do not know, other than its very pretty and some new learning techniques for me. But, I am not a shawl type person, if I have to fool around with it. However I did make a very simple cowl, easy to put on snd wear snd comfortable too. I like the Eun Sweater too!! It was a fun podcast today. I am working on a shawl, my first sweater, and pair of socks

I love the way you were wearing it before you took it off to explain it. It looked natural and stylish.

I’m a shawl lover, it’s so interesting to see shawls from another viewpoint! I like to make mine “extra” so I have more fabric to play with, and tend to like long narrow shawls, so this one would suit my style well. My quick go to is that I make certain the points are offset, one longer than the other. Sometimes I do the symmetrical wrap and tuck the points underneath, but that is more rare for me. It looks great on you, I think you’ll get used to it over time! And now I’m breaking with my tradition and knitting Andrea Mowrey’s Everyway Shawl - I’m excited as it’s a quick knit and will be fun in our cold months: shawl, big neck wrap, hooded shawl, poncho, lap blanket! I even used it last night at an overly air conditioned concert while I was knitting the simple section.

I have so many comments…let’s see if I can remember them all! Lol! Your shawl looks great and I actually love the knot and the way you’ve styled it. I also really appreciate your hesitancy to add complexity to your life with your accessories. I feel the same way…I don’t need more to do! I knit a sweater last winter (I think) with lucky tweed. It’s very warm and wears great! Finally, you should check out Asa Tricosa’s ziggurat method for cool seamless sweater construction. Lots of fun! Whew! I think I did it.

Love the Hollows Shawl! Ya know, style it the way YOU like and it's good--knot the ends or tuck or let 'em hang. I agree the shape is...different, but it's a great completed project! Much longer and it might as well be a blanket. LOL The new sweater is gorgeous and the yarn is very nice. I have not knit a sweater yet. I'd like to knit a tank top, since in TN we are still at Hell's Front Gate with heat and humidity. Bleah. Thanks for sharing with us!

That sweater has been sitting in my favourite for a long time, too! You have inspired me :) Your excitement for new insight is lovely! The construction is a more or less standard European one, I think - many German/Scandinavian designs have that construction and the shoulder seams can be treated as a design element if you choose to pick new stitches up from underside. From my experience, they do provide some structure in a comfy way.

I feel you on trying to style shawls. It looks great on you and the colour is lovely. Looking forward to seeing the new styles of sweaters you try. :)

i'm knitting a tee that has kind of a similar construction of the sweater you're working on, and it's really interesting and kinda magic! The first thing like that that i worked on was the pengweeno by stephen west. I encourage EVERYONE to try that pattern out because it's so challenging and easy at the same time and even if it's not your style, because it's kinda crazy, make it in one color! or make it for a kid so you still experience it but it's smaller :)

That sweater construction was actually my first sweater/top I’ve ever made! I made Joji Locatelli’s Lounging Top in January and honestly was lost for the first bit of it. But I trusted the process and cane out with a simple top to wear! Can’t wait to see how your sweater turns out. It’s looking incredible so far!

Hello, thanks for another great episode! I am also working on a cardigan that sounds like the same construction you described. I also have not ever knitted a sweater with this construction and I consider myself a novice in garment knitting. I completed the top of the back piece (with short row shaping) and picked up stitches along the shoulders for the right and left front pieces. I have now just begun adding stitches for the underarms and connecting the fronts and back. Overall I am liking the knit and the shoulders seam does seem to give the garment additional structure.

You could tie a knot in each end and let each end hang loose. I really like the way you put it on!

Hi Taylor! Another great podcast!!! I never would have looked twice at the Hollows shawl, but you've made me really want one. If we can't get some of your yarn which is gorgeous, I think Purl Soho's Linen Quill would be perfect for that shawl. It's obviously meant to be more decoration than warmth so Linen Quill has more summerlike fibers in it. I love the color you used, since you live out west, seems like wearing it like a fancy bandana would work for you there. Seems like the Isager yarn would make a great cardigan/hoodie that you could layer which would be more wearable for you in NV. Here are a few suggestions from my favorites: Lily Kates Calm Down Cardigan, I believe it's a DK weight this might not be artsy enough for you but after watching Lily's podcast about the design, I know it will fit really well. Caidree's Livre Vest, it's DK too, I love the pockets on the vest and how fuzzy it looks R&R Hoodie by Tanis Lavallee it's Worsted and has a zipper all the way down the front. For me a great hoodie can be taken off without pulling it over my head. This one fits the bill. I love your Tweedy yarn and the color is beautiful! That's going to be a gorgeous sweater! I'm almost done with the Novice Cardigan by Petite Knit I'm knitting it with Valley Yarns Peru in Starry Night - it's so soft and cozy, I can't wait to get it done. I'm on the 2nd sleeve then the button bands and it's done! Also knitting the NightShift Shawl by Andrea Mowry in Malabrigo Rios using Jewel Tone colors - it's gorgeous!!! I'm hoping the fabric won't be too stiff I've gone up a needle size mid project, hopefully I can't see the difference, but I can feel it, making it more drapey. Question! I want to knit the Gr8 Gingham Raglan by Jessie Maed, it's stranded colorwork to make a plaid basically using 2 colors -> MC - Magpie Fibers Smoke on the Water CC - Spincycle Nocturne Chaos Theory I'm chicken, I've never done stranded colorwork & nobody ever shows you the back of the work so you can see how yours should look if done correctly. Have you tried stranded colorwork? Also this yarn was pricey, I don't want to blow it, I want to like the looks and the fit when I'm done. I'll also be making it longer, no way am I making a cropped sweater! What do you think?

You have the way of this shawl wearing just fine without doing anything but throwing it on.

When I worked in a boutique, one of the questions I got the most was on how to wear shawls/scarves. The best advice I can give, is to stop fussing with it, throw it on and go. I would watch someone trying to get it just right for 20 minutes in the mirror when it looked great their first try. That being said, there are numerous ways they can be worn, but I've always liked the wrap it around and go look, no fuss, no muss. I'm loving your new shemagh/keffiyeh by the way, very pretty.

It's always fun getting something new going on your needles 😉

I too have a hard time wearing a shawl. I love how they look on other people but I never seem to achieve the same look. I have move more to different cowls when I want extra warmth. The remainder would make a lovely Ranunculus,Have a great day

I relate so much to :« I don't want to take a master class to know how to wear a shawl» ! I knitted my first shawl recently and I have the exact same issue as you: the shape is so awkward, I have not clue what to do with it! So I just wrap it around and hope that looks good! 😂

Sweaters are my favorite thing to knit and ive tried quite a few different types of construction over the years. Anything seamless tends to have the same type of durability compared to seaming for me. Seamed ones definitely have more heft at the seams and it makes things last longer. That said, im not in a cold place so my sweaters don't really wear out anyway. I agree though that picking up and knitting is much more enjoyable than seaming things together (which is kind of ironic because I sew my clothes too, lol). I just love sweater knitting - they're a big enough project to get used to each section you're doing so you dont have to stare at a pattern, but just when you're maybe bored with doing the same thing for a while, you move to a different area. Theyre the best:)

Your shawl is beautiful! I never have issues wearing shawls, I love knitting and wearing them. However, you might be happier wearing cowls, they are so quick to throw on and always lay right.

Love your new project and I especially love your rambling, geeky mind that so matches my own. I buy lovely yarn for a project and immediately second guess myself if this is truly the best use of this yarn or should I knit this or that or maybe….. Thanks for your rambles, it makes you a real kindred spirit! Happy knitting and deciding 🧶🥰

I love the shawl, it came out great! I love using shawls even through hot Texas summers 😅

I couldn't agree more with your sentiment/assessment of shawls like this one -- there's def a "boiling point" I (and my family) reach with regard to the effort needed to fiddle with it to get the right placement. Some effort? Fine. Perfect. A little more effort? Game over. 😂

When you showed us the Eclaire I thought about the Eun. It is in my favorites list. The split deep hem ribbing is a beautiful vibe.

First, I love the shawl anyway you style it! Second, I might have a few too many projects in progress! There's a Dr. Who scarf for hubby, a blanket for youngest son, a hooded scarf for youngest daughter, and a sleeveless top for myself. Then someone gave me a large and a small circle knitting loom, so I am attempting to make a kids sweater.Then the oldest son would like fingerless gloves for the walks to and from work.

I think it looks great how you’re wearing it. The shawl looks effortless.

Your shawl is so cute! It looks natural, spontaneous, hip, etc on you! I have never been brave enough to wear one. Have made several small ones and given them to people who are courageous enough to actually wear them. Plus I am always too hot. Have you looked at Cocoknits patterns and their method? Seems very similar to what you are describing. I bought the book because their stuff is all so well curated and perfect but have not tried one yet. Thanks for an entertaining episode!

It is a strange shape, but it looked lovely the way you wore it with those skinny ends tied. It’s beautiful. Nice job. I have the same problem putting my shawls on so you are not alone.

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 I’m a newbie to my very first top down cardigan 👏👏 and I’ve been knitting for over 50 years. ps love listening to your videos

I must say I like knitting sweater and T-shirts projects without seams. I am casting a new projects a top that is constructed similar to your sweater. Thanks lovely knitting time.

The shawl is gorgeous. I love wearing long triangle shawls. I found a couple ways to easily toss them on and it's easy now. Casting off earlier than the pattern called for may have changed the way yours ended up being shaped.

I tend to tie the nipple tassels and tuck them underneath the wrapped pieces. Works really well

The scarf way you are wearing your shawl is how I wear mine :) my friend says she loves big triangles for the winter to perfectly fill the triangle gap your coat leaves when it's closed. Another way I like us wrapped around the shoulders then clipped together with a shawl pin (I use a pretty hair stick, nice chopsticks also work, some people use broaches) if you want more shoulder coverage. Do not fear the large shawl, the large shawl is an excellent emergency blanket lol

The conasruction of set in sleeve and drop shoulder garments are my absolute favourite to knit. I'm not sure if the integrity of 'seams' made by picked up stitches is as stable as seamed together, but it definitely helps with keeping the shape compared to a raglan or round yoke garment.

On the home stretch of my Sweater No 11 by My Favourite Things Knitwear and it is one of my favourite things! Love the way the pattern is written, just enough detail and some really helpful tips and links. And my sweater looks amazing, has that cool oversized Scandi look that’s elegant and not frumpy. As to your query about durability- I’ve knit lots of sweaters in all types of yarn and patterns and how they hold up has more to do with the type of yarn ie non superwash lasts much better also the gauge you knit it at - tighter gauge being the more durable. But I too love these Danish style construction- Petite Knit Ankestrikt and Other Loops use a similar construction and it’s so much fun to knit and so far they do hold their shape and they look so cool and modern.

RosieLC posted a picture on Ravelry wearing the shawl that’s so pretty. Put the center of the shawl over one shoulder and bring the ends toward the other shoulder. Throw one end over your shoulder toward the back and throw the other end over your shoulder toward the front. Easy peasy.

Another wonderful podcast! I love how your Hollows shawl turned out. And I'm with you- styling the shawl is the hardest part! I've got 2 in my wardrobe and only wear them occasionally because I'm at a loss on how to wear them. 🥴 I love hearing about the new construction type of your latest sweater cast on. After knitting mostly raglan style sweaters and tops, I tried one from Ozetta called the Moonset Tee, where you start with part of the neckline, pick up for the back, then knit each side of the front for a v-neck before you start in the round. It was so cool and kept a mostly stockinette project really interesting!

I've always wanted to knit the Batad by Steven West. I love the industrial look of it, and I think I could highlight a lot of the 4-6oz handspun yarns I've made. For the dangly bits on your shawl, you could maybe use some stitch markers or a shawl pin to tack things into place so you just slip it over your head and floof.

Tassels could be cool along the cast on or off edge in the middle portion of the shawl? But I like the way you tied it! Another option for the ends is to just tuck them up under the bulk of the shawl? If you didn't want to do the knot. I love how it turned out! The texture looks awesome and the color is gorgeous! 😍

Wearing a cotton top today that I finished; the Mysterium Tee by Hannah Mann. I made it from frogged yarn from a project I had stopped working on several years ago

I saw you mention in a reply to another comment the idea that it seems a little counterintuitive when you can’t see much of the design of the shawl when it’s so bunched up. I have thought the same myself sometimes. I do like “opening up” the front part that sits over my chest so that you see more of the design and the edge, but the I generally bunch it up the rest of the way around my neck. With some of my shawls I tie it in a knot like you have, however, I tuck the knot under the front of the shawl for a more concealed, put together look, but I like how it looks when you have it out too! On the shawl pattern that I designed (L’Esperance Shawl, if you’d like to take a look), it’s more of a modified crescent that gives a more curled look at the tips so it looked more like ringlets surrounding each side when I don’t tie it, rather than “nipple tassels” (😂). The other thing you may want to look into is the idea of a shawl pin to keep it in place and not as bunched. My husband had made me some with wood (which he may sell again some day, but not at this time), but they also come in metal varieties. Additionally, I’ve seen leather shawl cuffs, which may be a good option for you as well, though those are mostly based on the idea of bunching, as opposed to laying flat over your body as a shawl pin allows for.

I have this love-hate thing with shawls. I love how they look alone but not on me. And they look so cool on others but on me... I look like someone being strangled. I think part of this is I dislike things around my neck. So I am going to try wearing them more around my shoulders and for that to feel good and not slip is it needs to be a special shape. The closest shape that works is the Stephen West Twist and Turn. It is more like a wrap but with shaping. Rectangular, triangle, asymmetrical shapes 'pull' or require the need to wrap too much around the neck to keep from falling off.

You have truly been an inspiration to me. I've done exactly what you recommend, push your comfort level. I knitted the Felix pullover, Felix cardigan, another Felix with two stands of fiber and now I'm learning to knit socks TAAT. First was one at a time, then baby socks TAAT, and now a pair of socks TAAT. Thanks for sharing your excitement about knitting!

I just found a sweater pattern with much the same construction as you spoke of. I too love the whole idea. I’m currently working this. It is Veronika from Cocoknits. I believe the pattern was $8. I wasn’t able to find the yarn suggested, so making it with Malabrigo Rios in Ravelry Red. I think your pattern is next!

Your shawl is lovely. Wear it as you have it on: it looks great. I've only made seamed sweaters because I like completing the pieces: they generally go super fast. My "only" problem is seaming the pieces together: I hate it 😄 But I've done pullovers, turtlenecks and cardigans this way because it's what I'm used to. I have lots of patterns for top-down seamless items because the fact that no seaming is required is amazing. I'm working on a LB Fishermen's Wool cardigan (seamed! A modified version of a Yarn Girls pattern), Rye socks (Tin Can Knits) and the Paris Toujours shawl (Isabell Kraemer) - all to use yarn in the pantry. Ready to cast on more Rye socks (and making a cable in the patterned section) just because worsted weight socks go super quick 😊 Oh. And I have some Fire Pit mitts about 90% done (in a lovely Malabrigo. Your pattern is great). I got distracted by other projects but will finish them soon 😏

Sweater pattern sounds interesting. I've been knitting 60 years and have only made about 10 sweaters. Maybe it's time to try another one. 😉

I have seen shawls like Hollows reshaped with a little directional blocking to be more triangular. It would still have long dangly bits, though. Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!
