Product Details

I designed this long triangular shawl based on a photo of a kite and as a collaboration with Sun Valley Fibers. This pattern has been updated to include BOTH fingering weight and worsted weight versions.

A kite reacts against the air to create lift and drag but mostly flies best in a strong wind. This shawl is an honoring of friendships made at knitting retreats. Especially those friends who return year after year and embrace you heartily! Friends who have also lifted you up during strong winds throughout your time apart. This is a checklist pattern with slow increases using fingering weight yarn, it works up with a repetitive textured stitch pattern that becomes soothing for the knitter. And serves to remind you of friendships rekindled, reacquainted, reestablished. . .
