I am pleased to announce that my latest pattern has now been released on Ravelry.
Raking Leaves Shawl
You can get it here.
Raking Leaves is a leafy design created from wanting to knit two yarns from my stash together, a speckled green yarn and a solid black yarn, and seeing the same green in the apples my little boy was picking from our apple tree whilst I was trying to rake up the fallen leaves.
It uses my favourite “curled” shawl shape, because it creates a stunning spiral at one end, but also stays wrapped around your shoulders without falling off.
