Neighbo(u)rhood Sheep Society 2018

The days are brighter and longer, leaving memories of the cold dark winter in the distant past. The warmth of the sun seeps in through windows and beckons to you to grab that picnic basket and race off to the nearest park…

Nothing beats knitting in the glorious sunshine and when that cool breezes blows in at the end of the day, the warmth of a light shawl wrapped around your shoulders rounds the day of beautifully.

Thirstane is a simple eyelet shawl - gloriously easy to knit, perfect for knitting on the go or for those moments when you are engrossed in conversation with a dear friend but still want your needles clicking away in your hands.

Worked from the tip to the edge, this gorgeous shawl showcases three beautiful shades of yarn.
