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 do knot a lot of shawls. No real favorite. I like trying different ones.

I have only knit one shawl so far, but I have plenty more in my Ravelry queue!
Catie says
I can’t tell you how many onesie-and-twosie skeins of Koiku are languishing in my stash looking for EXACTLY one of these patterns. I would love this!

I’ve knit several shawls and do wear them quite a bit in the winter. I don’t have a clear favorite, just finished Leetal’s Robin and am really looking forward to wearing it next winter.
Betty Clay says
Thank you for the giveaway! I mostly crochet shawls, but would like to try some knitted ones.
