Yes, shawls + dresses!
My internal temperature is constantly fluctuating, so I’m all about layers. In summer I find myself drawn to super soft shawls to keep the chill off. I inevitably wrap them tight, then throw them off an hour later. This week I really loved the combo of burnt orange, yellow, and pink.
Yes, cashmere in garter stitch!
I pretty much have to have sleeveless dresses at all times so I can ventilate if I need it, but I love covering up with cashmere too!

A flowing gradient splashed with short row “leaves” turns this semi-circular pi shawl into a stunning statement piece — and the perfect wrap for your outdoor adventures. And the best part? It’s worked in a unique self-striping yarn that shifts and blends, with golden sections appearing as you knit to tell you when to work each Leaf. It’s addictively mesmerising! I worked closely with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works to design this special shawl. It was an unusual collaboration, in that the yarn colourway and the pattern were developed in tandem to create a knitting experience that’s fun, engaging, and reflects the beauty of the great outdoors. Instructions are included for substituting a non-striping yarn.
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is available from Gauge Dye Works.
