Newsletter March, 25, 2023: A shawl for spring 🌸

Semi-Precious Shawl

I'm so excited to re-introduce the Semi-Precious Shawl, the final pattern in the 20in20 collection

The Semi-Precious Shawl was first released in 2017 with the Madelinetosh shawl club subscription from Jimmy Beans Wool. The original version uses 12 different colors, but I always wanted to create a 2 color version of the shawl - mostly so there wouldn’t be so many ends to weave in! The result is a shawl that is slightly asymmetrical and just big enough to for light neck and shoulder coverage.

This new version uses just 300 yards/50g of 2 different colors (600 yards total), and I chose a luxurious cashmere linen blend from Jade Sapphire that I have been hoarding for years. It is the perfect blend of warmth and airiness for fall or spring.

Check out the original Semi-Precious shawl published in 2017 below - this version is included with the download and is great for using up leftovers!

Grab the Semi-Precious Shawl now 20% off until Monday, March 27th at Midnight PT! If you already own the pattern, the 2 color version is now downloadable in your library! The link below is for Ravelry, but you can also purchase it on my website or LoveCrafts.

The 20in20 ebook is FINALLY complete! The price will remain $25 for a bit longer, but then I will be increasing the price to $35 soon, so grab it before the price goes up!


Current WIP

Squares, squares, everywhere - and many more to knit! These little squares are a modification of the center flower motif in the Rain Lily mitts. I have been playing with the idea of a granny square style top constructed out of these little guys. Or, maybe a poncho? Or maybe a shawl!  Who knows! It's still a work in progress but for now I am enjoying making the squares!

That's it for this update! Thanks again, and see ya next time, friends! ~Rachel
