We will be hosting a virtual knit-along for this gorgeous, luxurious shawl beginning on September 4th with our Cast-On Party, 6pm-7:30 MST. Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits designed this beautiful pattern, and we cannot wait to begin! Even more exciting, Francoise will be joining us for a special KAL session on October 16 to talk about how she integrates her culture and history into her designs!
