Équerre is a reversible garter stitch shawl that is worked sideways. At the beginning of the ‘shelter at home’ order, I did not find the usual consolation in my knitting. Nothing would do, every time I picked up a project, I would put it down after a few rows because it did not provide the solace I was looking for - until I started working on this design. The combination of yarn and pattern was just what I needed: soothing garter stitch for the most part, it helped me let go of my anxiety stitch by stitch.
