If I had one shawl to wrap around my neck when it’s cooler temps outside I know exactly what I would choose, my Some Kind of Wonderful Shawl. I wear this one more than anything else I’ve ever made. It’s cute, stylish, easy to wear, and it’s the perfect size, not too big or small. It’s also a fun knit.
Today, we are bringing back this fantastic shawl kit, and as a big bonus, it will be discounted 25% off due to the slightly uneven twist on the yarn. It’s a steal of a price. Please take a look at the swatches I knitted with the Home Fingering Weight yarn, and the skeins in the kit photos. All sales are final. I can’t stress enough that the yarn is completely fine and beautiful, it just has a slightly uneven twist. That’s it. It is really not noticeable when worked up, especially in garter stitch.
For the kit this round, we are offering a four skein kit. For the main color or Color 2 of the shawl, we are using two full skeins instead of one. Our previous three skein kits had a few people running short on the Color 2 so we want to make sure you have enough.
I promise that you are going to love this shawl!
Here is all of the information you’ll need about the Some Kind of Wonderful Shawl:
I was traveling recently, and I started a new and incredibly simple shawl at the tail end of the trip. I finished up the remainder of the shawl when I returned home. I really loved knitting it and the results are so pleasing that I decided to share the pattern. I was trying to think of a name for the shawl and was playing around with various travel-related names, but nothing was sticking. Then when I was driving the song Some Kind of Wonderful came on the radio and the name just clicked.
This simple, fun to knit, wearable and most of all, beautiful three-color shawl really is Some Kind of Wonderful!
