The Prairie Fire Shawl (Ravelry link) pattern is now live! If you don’t use Ravelry, here is the link to the Prairie Fire Shawl at Tallgrass Knitting (my Etsy shop).
The Prairie Fire Shawl cables and lace represent the swirls and whirls and wind devils seen on the Midwest prairies during the annual controlled burns each Spring.
This shawl is a simple top-down semi-circle shawl worked in fingering weight yarn. Shawl begins with stockinette stitch and simple yarn-over increases then flows into the real show stopper of this shawl – the cable and lace panels.
Fire on the prairie is very much a source of renewal each spring when controlled burns clear away old growth and allow space for new growth to begin. Once the smoke clears, green shoots poke up from the charred soil almost immediately.
The Prairie Fire Shawl pattern is available on Ravelry, LoveKnitting and Tallgrass Knitting (my Etsy shop).
