Boneyard Shawl Class

Lauran is excited to teach our advanced beginners and intermediate level knitters the Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West.  

This simple triangular shawl begins at the top center and increases toward the border. You can knit this shawl with any yarn weight and continue the shape to make it as large as you wish. This is a fantastic pattern for learning how to do an increase, as well as look at how gradient yarns patterns or for alternating different colors.  

There is also a great option to use some mini-skeins for the bumps and a complimentary neutral for the main body.  Once you knit the Boneyard Shawl, you can experiment with stripes and textures as you venture into the woolly world of Westknits shawl knitting.

This is a three part class, meeting Saturdays from 10am to noon on May 30, June 13 & 27.
