This fabulous work reminds me of sunrise straking out across an imaginary landscape. It is worked by my Knitting Advisor, Erica. Also in the picture is Val who teaches long draw spinning in the Leicester area. Erica told me The pattern for the shawl is called ‘the Doodler’ and is byStephen West – it is available on Ravelry costing about £5
The yarn is fingering or 4 ply sock yarn and can be made from 3 100gm balls of different colours and 3.5 mm circular needles – whatever colours you choose !
The whole shawl is knitted in garter stitch and is easy as long as you can count – the great thing about it is that it works – if you follow the pattern things happen in the right places and you have the right number of stitches (even if there are a lot of them sometimes)
He also has a couple of helpful utube videos to show you the cast off and edgings
I suppose it took me about three weeks of evening knitting to complete but was great fun to knit even the edging when you had a lot of stitches and never boring! The 34 stitch cable was certainly different !
I think it works well with at least one multicoloured yarn but on Ravelry there are many examples of the different colour ways it can be done‘
