The idea for my original SEQUENCES wrap came from the work of Cecelia Campochiaro and her stellar book, Sequence Knitting: Simple Methods for Creating Complex Fabrics. While I loved the idea of creating what looks like a very complicated colorwork pattern by working simple garter ribbing in 2 colors, I also thought about how to vary the shape of the piece using a series of increases and decreases in the vertical stripes. The result was a triangular shaped wrap with undulating vertical striping! A striking statement piece, but not something that could be worn as a daily piece.

So, when asked to create a shawl for the Proverbial Shawl Club, I expanded the SEQUENCES shawl into something more functional. What is more practical than a shawl that can be buttoned? Or buttoned into a shrug? Or buttoned as a scarf? Knit in one of my all time favorite yarns, AVFKW Annapurna, I hope you agree that this is an amazing addition to any wardrobe.
