Have you wanted to know why and how a shawl gets its shape? Maybe you have a vision of the perfect shawl in your head, and you want to get it on your needles!

This will include swatching different shawl shapes, discussing how different textures and stitch patterns can affect your shawl, and playing with different yarn weights and colors to make your shawl stand out from the crowd!
