Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!

Years (maybe 50?) ago, I fell in love with one of the Swedish-type shawls in a McCall¡¯s (maybe) Knitting magazine. That¡¯s how it was shown, Jenny, Sort of backwards. Never did get around to casting on. ? ?

Gigantic is good for wrapping up in. And I think historically the shawl corners were passed around the front of the body, then back around ?and then tied behind to get a cross-over type protection for the front in addition to the warmth on the back. So they were probably meant to be huge. ? Jenny ? ? Anmiryam, I¡¯d also love to hear how the island is this year. When do you come back?? Jenny, I too thought I was the last one still working on this. It is good to hear that I am not.? I searched for and found Steph¡¯s video on how to do the colorwork while knitting left to right to avoid 2-color purling and am going to teach myself this technique. My goal is to have it done by Winter Solstice this year!? It is going to be gigantic I think. Maybe I¡¯ll put it up as wall decor ¥Ä ?
