Oh I love this so much!! I didn't start knitting until summer of 2018 so I can't participate in this trend YET but OMG what is it with knitters and shawls?? Guilty ✋
I love that Mochi Plus Mitered Shawl, will check it out.
I made a couple of dotted rays: never thought of using SELF-STRIPING YARN!!
So true, only knitters or their beloveds wear knitted shawls. I have too many. Don't even start me on my hat stash.
Luckily, one of my besties has started a beginner knitting class, so we spent Saturday afternokn in the yarn shop and thrifting, and on Sunday morning I was blessed to be able to introduce her to Ravelry.
(and I gifted her notions and yarn from my stash, heh heh)
I wore the blue shawl yesterday, I wear it all the time, as well as the red one you made. I love them. Also, the Aunt Jean shawl is gorgeous, what are you talking about?
This was the best thing I've read on substack all year
I knowwww I’ve been getting too deep into knitting thinking Shawl Thoughts lately… fuck it we shawl!
Same with shawls! No one wore them so I stopped gifting them; all for meeee 💕
Henceforth I shall be careful around drag queens. May not be a problem as I seldom go to the race track.

What even is time? Love the flashback and having literal decades of experience in the craft to look back on. Incredible beard.
So enjoyed this post! You had me laughing so many times re shawls and Marilla Cuthbert and all! Thanks!!
Sweet baby James!!!

This was precious and sweet and fun and I love you and I love knitting and I love that we both had our big knitting renaissances the same year.
