Learn how to knit shawls with a free virtual workshop
Shawls make brilliant beginner projects.I remember when I was learning to knit, everyone said "Start with a scarf!"But scarves are never-ending when you're new to knitting. They're a bigger commitment than anyone lets on, with most patterns calling for two or three skeins of yarn.A single skein shawl is much more manageable and more interesting. You'll learn a lot more by the time you're finished, too!But I know anything new can seem daunting, so along with the free pattern, I've created a free virtual workshop to support and cheer you on step by step as you finish your shawl. In a series of simple, friendly how-to emails, you'll learn:
How to choose the right yarn and needles for your shawl
What gauge means and whether it matters
How to modify your shawl pattern or change the size
The best way to cast on
Stitches you’ll use in the shawl
How to stay on track with the clever Percentage Checklist™
The magic of blocking your handknit shawl
And if you're already an avid shawl knitter, don't worry! You can still sign up for the free pattern. I'll give you an easy way to opt out if you don't need the lessons.
A single skein of yarn
The Spindrift Shawl pattern is written to make the most of one skein of 4 ply or fingering weight yarn, so you don't need to spend a fortune to knit it.
Pure comfort knitting
Relax and enjoy the process with a simple but beautiful stitch pattern, clear instructions and line-by-line stitch counts so you'll never get lost.
Friendly knit-along emails
