I’ve always been a little “shawl challenged”. I’d look at all these stunning photos of knitters on Instagram wearing their shawls draped over themselves like they were just emerging from a pool of light in a J’Adore commercial saying “Moi? I woke up like this.”
But when I tried to improvise the same sort of look, I ended up sporting a style that can only be described as “Probably didn’t have enough caffeine this morning.”
So, I worked at it and found a few things that made wearing a rectangular shawl sooo much more foolproof for me, with or without caffeine.
Give the video a watch (if you missed it on IG), and since you may want to know where I got a few helpful items in the video, the buttons are from Jul Designs and are called Stud Buttons (how did they know my Stripper Name??) and the shawl cuff is actually called a “wrist ruler”. (these aren’t affiliate links—just some stuff I find pretty and helpful).
I hope that you’re enjoying a lovely first day of May—I’ll have more in store for you in a few weeks, knitwise, so stay tuned!
Happy Knitting (and shawl-wearing),
Mary (aka Lyrical Knits)
