Fundy Bay Shawl - The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife KAL

Join us as we read the book by Connie Scovill Small, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife, and knit this shawl inspired by the humble yet intrepid life of not only Connie, but lighthouse keepers and sea-men and women up and down the coast!

This shawl is made on size 7US needles with Regal, a heavy DK weight. It’s highly adaptable and forgiving on gauge: a great project for us to enjoy together. There are some optional edging, depending on if you want to flaunt your crochet knowledge or not.

Beyond the passage between the islands in Bucks Harbor lies Avery Rock, where Connie and her husband tended the light on the unforgiving slice of ledge. The lighthouse was commissioned to be built by politicians who never saw the island, except on a map, and may have been oblivious to the severity of the conditions! All that remains now are a few iron poles stabbed into the rock, and the stories of adventure passed down in the form of lore.
