Happy New Year everyone! This is my first shawl in 2022, so I'm starting with one of my favorite designs to make, an asymmetrical shawl. This one features a pattern with diamonds and big eyelets. As I say every time, once you start working the pattern, you'll find out how easy it is, and knitting it will go smoothly. A bonus feature for this shawl is that you can repeat the general pattern as many times as you want until you get the size you desire. I also included a video tutorial for the I-cord bind off method, which many of you have asked me about before. With so many ideas and new designs on my mind, I promise you numerous new knitting and crochet projects, with easy instructions and awesome designs. So, stay tuned for all my upcoming posts and have fun knitting!
