Mary D is getting this one.
Koigu is known for making fantastic, colorful yarns. These colorful skeins are fun to collect, but if you aren’t sure how to use them in projects, check out Wrapped in Color: 30 Shawls to Knit from the yarn company’s founders, Maie and Taiu Landra.
The book includes triangular, rectangular, crescent-shaped, square and sleeved shawls, capes, wraps and shrugs. There is lace, a lot of drop-stitch projects and a few pretty simple Garter and Stockinette based projects as well.
These patterns are colorful, mostly easy to intermediate in skill level, lots of fun to knit and wear. Check out the projects on Ravelry and look inside the book at the publisher’s website.
If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, May 28. I’d love to know if you knit a lot of shawls and if you have a favorite pattern you’ve knit so far. I found Hitchhiker a lot of fun, and the one I designed, if you can even call it that, that I like the most is my Bulky Triangle Wrap.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I try to make bright shawls to give as a gift for someone at a bit of a low point in their life and tell them every stitch is a prayer and a wish for some sunshine in their life. It seems to make a difference to people if they think someone has been thinking of them.

Patricia Casper says
Shawls are a great alternate to scarves. While I love both, shawls can have different shapes which allows for greater flexibility for design and trimmings. I especially like the crescent and shawlette type which are light and can be draped in so many ways. Would love to own this book.
Lee says
I have not made a shawl but it is on my list to do!
