Wild Rhodies Shawl

I told ya'll it was going to be a set! I just can't help myself when I've been inspired and love the inspo story! If you've been around for a while then you know I moved to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State in Spring 2021. If you didn't, now you know! 

I absolutely love my new home state and have no desire to leave, ever. With that love comes a lot of inspiration. I've previously put out the Puget Sound Beanie and Cowl, now I have the Wild Rhodies Shawl for you! 

Wild Rhodies uses 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn (~900 yards) for a light and airy spring knit. Rhododendrons are the WA state flower and you can see the colors popping out as you drive around The Sound. We've seen buses of this gorgeous flower derring the forest while out hiking. 

I love how the stitches give the variegated yarn a water-like movement so I think variegated yarn would be perfect. The pattern has a fully written repeat so you can make your shawl as large or as small as you'd like. With the simple picot bind off you'll have little bit s of flower petals to wear as your bind off.
