That leaves us enough time for knitting a warm and fluffy shawl. That&#8217;s a lot of fun and even cheaper than buying one. I bought a wool mixture of Schachenmayr called Boston. The price of 4 ravels is between 16 and 20$. I knitted with a size 11 needle. I casted on 30 stitches in total and knitted alternately three knits and three purls so that the shawl had a width of nearly 8 and stretched nearly 12 inches. With the six center stitches I made a cable pattern by crossing them every tenth row starting 8 rows after casting on. The chart is as follows:<br \/>\nx=knit, <=purl (to be read and cast on from right to left, back rows to be knitted as they appear)\nxxx<<<xxx<<<xxxxxx<<<xxx<<<xxx\nI didn't cast on a selvedge stitch but simply slipped the first stitch of the first triplet. I finished my shawl after 196 rows which made a length of about 55 inches. This way you may wear it with a simple knot or wind it round your neck in double and pull the ends through the loop.\nAccording to the care label the wool is apt for machine wash but I prefer hand wash for all my shawls.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s getting colder, slowly but continuously.
