Apparently, I am not able to place my placeholder mkal image as Raverly is not a storefront - though I seem to pay what feels like rent each month. So please click this link to see Times person of the Year 1933 - Frances Perkins and here to learn more about her. (for more details, see my data page on my Frances Perkins project page)

Special Limited Time Price: $1.00 usd now & through the end of the mkal.

This is a mystery knit along for a triangle shawl worked in the round and using the stranded colourwork technique (as well as the Armenian knitting style; video linked in pattern available until 1 Feb to free bunnymuff Patreon members; pattern free to paid members). It is intended for knitters who are comfortable with HUGE complex charts.

This shawl has animal and plant motifs flowing in and out of the background landscape, in more of a tapestry style.
Find some lovely yarn at 5 Sisters in jumper weight or fine-fingering.

Portions of the pattern will be released over 6 weeks as Clues:
Clue 1 - 1 February
Clue 2 - 8 February
Clue 3 - 15 February
Clue 4 - 22 February
Clue 5 - 1 March
Cue 6 (the edge) - 8 March

You will need long circular needles for this project, if you want to work it and the edge in the round. I recommend 40 - 60 in / 102 - 152 cm cables.

You may use any yarn you like, mix and match, but keep them dark and light. Changing the weight of the yarn, gauge, and/or knitting style may change the approximate yarn amounts.
