Fresh off Our Needles: The Be Sweet Eclectic Shawl!

Okay, this one is just plain fun. The Be Sweet Eclectic Shawl is knit entirely in garter stitch with a simple decrease on every other row. This simple but stunning shawl is a must-have, quick to knit and can easily be finished over a weekend. Worked with three skeins of Be Sweet Eclectic (a blend of Mohair and wool), it'll be a surprise watching the fabric emerge with varying shades and textures. We've got four kit colorways to choose from; each kit contains three skeins of Be Sweet Eclectic yarn and a copy of the pattern. Sample is shown in Blue Jeans.
