Gatherings Shawl
Design by Nailya Plaskey and Hand Knit by Kam
Save $2.50 on both Mad Libs shawls (Together Shawl and Gatherings Shawl) with coupon code MADLIBS
This shawl design is the result of a knitting Mad Libs game. Nailya Plaskey and Carmen de la Pena each designed a body for a shawl, then swapped projects and designed the edging for each other’s shawls. Kam started with a fun textured pattern, interspersed with delicate elongated stitches. Nailya finished it with dramatic openwork in the second color.
We hope you enjoy our collaboration! Choose two skeins of yarn to work with, and maybe swap your project midway with a friend.
