I spent many hours knitting on a boat going up the Thames River. It was quiet, peaceful, and always fun. Named after that river, the Thames Shawl is easy and fun-to-knit, providing all the opportunities to play with color, and add your own touches.

This pattern holds 2 yarns together, double stranded throughout the piece.

The pictures show one color held double to provide a color blocking effect - but holding 2 complimentary strands together will create a lovely marling look to the shawl.
