I have always dreamt about shawls, huge, warm, beautiful and handmade.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0knitted my first two shawls in 2000. In a week in february and a week in june, both of them to keep my hands working while I was in grief.\u00a0The first shawl was\u00a0very warm, not that huge and not that beautiful. I never used it and ended up trowing it away (that lovely alpaca yarn! I should have dyed it!). The second\u00a0time the yarn wasn’t that great, but the shawl got\u00a0big\u00a0and I didn’t have enough yarn so I had to add some different colors.\u00a0The shawl got very warm and huge, but not that beautiful. I still use it in our house in Sweden and I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

So in 2006 when my son got cancer and my hands needed something to do, I wouldn’t knit a shawl! The shawl was at this time still related to death and this time there was going to be a lot of life! So instead I worked on my special throw<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Last winter I knitted an other shawl and this time it wasn’t for any sad reason. This winter I’m longing to knit a huge lace shawl with my musk ox yarn<\/a>, but then I got to remember something:<\/span><\/p>\n

A shawl is a wonderful thing to knit and for a beginner knitter it can be a challenge to get started on the first shawl. So with my\u00a0ambition to make knitting easy to learn I just had to make a beginner shawl!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight I finished the shawl. It’s very simple – except that I got carried away and made a\u00a0crochet edge…. Now I just have to write the pattern for you, I promise; It’s going to be easy.<\/span><\/p>\n
