Cherry Twist is a reversible rectangular shawl full of sumptuous cables on a ribbed background. It’s a lovely knit requiring a bit of attention on the cable rows, and offers a breezy ribbed knitting between them. Helen Mawdsley enjoys creating projects where her love of fibre arts meets her love of woodworking. This shawl was knitted with hand-turned needles from cherry wood. Blending this tool with the wide twists in the pattern was the inspiration for the name of Cherry Twist.
