It’s Log… it’s Big, it’s Light, it’s Wool!!

Worked from the center out, this shawl starts out log cabin style and grows into a generous, squishy wrap. And because I’m not about to make you pick up a zillion stitches, the log cabin construction uses Lola’s Pick Up Line to join each section.
THAT’S RIGHT! LOG CABIN KNITTING WITHOUT PICKING UP STITCHES!!!

It’s Log is a satisfying combination of clever construction, short-row colorwork, shadow knitting and a little bit of Lola mischief. Once you get the hang of the technique, you’ll find yourself ADDICTED!

It’s Log! It’s better than bad… it’s good!
Get ready to have a happy, happy, joy, joy kind of knit!
