’Snicker-snack said Alice. ‘I managed to get the Hatter to model my new design. That will pay the Jabberwocky back for his mean spirited comments about my Dodgson shawl! Indeed, although this shawl is bladed and sharp, the yarn is sensuous and it will wrap your own neck and shoulders in cloudy softness. The ribbon detailing is optional.

Alice Treasure Hunt

Entries for the Treasure Hunt competition will be accepted after the last pattern has been released. So don’t think it’s ever too late to join my yarn club or buy the patterns.
There will be six patterns and clues in total including the Tweedledum and Tweedledee Cowl, Queen of Hearts Shawl and Snicker-Snack Vorpal Blade Shawl. The clues lead you to the location of the Alice Treasure Chest - the prize for the fearless knitter winner containing lots of Alice and Chroma Yarns goodies.
