Wiggle Wrap.

If you've been in the shop in the past week, you may have noticed a new sample hanging on the wall. There are many sweaters, shawls, hats, scarves, and bags competing for your attention, of course, so it's possible you missed this latest knit shawl. It's quite striking, though, and wont be in the shop forever, so I thought I'd document it here.


The pattern is "Wiggle Wrap," by Sally Brandl, and it's knit with two balls of Kauni Effektgarn. One ball is a bright, fiery colorway and the other is dark, with deep blues and purples. The two, themselves self-striping, are striped against one another, creating multiple levels of stripes and gradations of color. The premise is simple but the effect is impressive. I'd like to see one in a pair of neutral colorways, or a black-and-white skein with a wild rainbow skein. Get to work, knitters.


Come by the shop to see the Wiggle Wrap while it's still here, and check the Kauni Patterns binder for more Kauni inspiration.


(Many thanks to Nancy for lending us her shawl!)

  1. Life is like a battle, if you don't know how to defend yourself then you'll end up being a loser. So, better take any challenges as your stepping stone to become a better person. Have fun, explore and make a lot of memories.
