I believe knitting is meant to be played with.

Shawls to Play With is an adventure.

Adventure. An adventure in expanding ideas and broadening horizons.
Curiosity. Opening doors that might have been hidden in plain sight.
It’s about seeing things, not only as they are, but also as they could be.
Elegance. It’s elegance. But not effortlessness.
Simplicity. Starting simply. Then getting even simpler.
Flexibility. It’s playing, experimenting, and questioning.
Seeing something. Then wondering “what if…”
Expansiveness. Playing with the idea.
Adaptation. Beginning with one thing. Then making it your own.
Play.

Shawls to Play With is about dancing within constraints.

adventure. curiosity. elegance. simplicity. flexibility. expansiveness. adaptation. play.

Play. Knitting is meant to be played with.

Hello April

Hello April!

DSC_7303
It feels like I spent the entire month of March editing Shawls to Play With. (which is here!!!)

I did sneak away for an evening to knit exactly 2 rows on the shawl I’ve been neglecting, but most of my knitting time has been spent working on the secret knitting project. However! The secret project is knit!

Cover
The collection I’ve been working on for ages is finally available for sale! You can buy it here, or through ravelry. And if you want a sneak peak, here it is…

I’ll try to have some knitting for you guys next week, (though is might be a new pile of swatches.)
