This shawl design is the result of a knitting Mad Libs game between Nailya Plaskey and myself. We each designed a body for the shawl, then swapped projects and designed the edging for each other’s shawls.

Kam started with a fun textured pattern, interspersed with delicate elongated stitches. Nailya finished it with dramatic openwork in the second color.

We hope you enjoy our collaboration! Choose two skeins of yarn to work with, and maybe swap your project midway with a friend.
