I confess not being able to channel my inner hipster too often… But sometimes I knit pieces like this warn and fuss free shawl and I can feel myself instantly transported to the coolest, little known coffeeshop in town…

Do you have an inner hipster?
And if you don’t, do you have a bit of time and some worsted yarn around you? I promise this is the coolest quickest shawl you’ll ever knit.

As any hipster would, I chose an ethical and sustainable yarn with a great story… And as if their story wasn’t amazing enough, the fiber is unbelievably soft and glorious against my skin.
