Our intention is to inspire you to gather and share, to be part of a community of like-minded knitters, makers and thinkers from near and far. but I will definitely make more than one and have spent a very enjoyable afternoon working out which ones will actually make it onto my 'To Be Knit List'.

Marina Mateevas Shawl takes 6 skeins of our Hampshire 4ply, and is featured on the front cover of the book. Thus book is exactly what it says on the cover 52 beautifully illustrated patterns that might challenge you as a beginner but look well worth the effort in the long run.

All are well illustrated and there are full instructions provided including stitch diagrams where couloir work is used.
