The Sundial Shawl will feature lace panels with floral motifs, some beading (all placed with a crochet hook) and a beautiful floral lace edging. But the highlight of the shawl is the fair-isle garden that edges the bottom of the shawl. This fair-isle panel will be reversible so that there are no unfinished loops to catch when wearing the shawl.

While this is not a true mystery shawl as you know the shape and theme of the motifs, the full shawl will not be revealed until almost the end of the knit – when we start the fair-isle section. The pattern will be released in 4 sections, with Aug 1 being the starting date.

Of course there will be yarny and knitterly prizes.
