I just published my “MORNING RAIN” shawl, and I’m so in love with it! It has a 25% automatic discount through midnight September 30, 2026 (EST time Canada). No coupon code needed.

I love morning rain very much. Especially a gentle one that begins like a quiet whisper and slowly grows into a steady drizzle. This image inspired my latest creation, the Morning Rain shawl.

This shawl is knitted from the top down and formed by two triangles separated by a center stitch. The size of the shawl is easy to adapt according to the included customization notes.

The pattern is both fully written and charted with bead placement clearly indicated. There will also be suggestions for the bind off options, including a picot bind off method.
