Leftover Yarn Shawl

The Leftover Yarn Shawl is a fun shawl to knit – here are the instructions:

You will need:  Lots of small amounts of different yarns – use a variety of colours and textures.  A good approach is to group together a number of yarns in a colour family (for example browns, purples or blues) in a variety of textures.  You can use different weights as you will combine some to make up an average gauge.

• Yarn

In knitting, casting on is a family of techniques for adding new stitches that do not depend on earlier stitches, i.e., stitches having an independent lower edge. In principle, casting on is the opposite of binding off, but the techniques involved are generally unrelated.

Esme Entrelac Shawl

This Shawl was designed after taking a course on entrelac knitting.  When I found and fell in love with this colour of Silk Garden, I knew that I had to make something special with it, so I designed this shawl.
