The culmination of Design Series, Nancy & Judy emerge as a shawlette of sisters. Stitch patterns from Barbara Walker’s Treasuries inspired and transformed into alternating sister sections of a shawl. Both made from the same essential twisted stitches but expressed quite differently. Judy is straight arrow, clean crisscrossed lines over a field of simple stockinette. Nancy is the wild child, open and free.

Love the shawl and LOVED reading your process. Thank you for sharing it. Even though I’m not a designer, I enjoyed reading all about it. Thank you for sharing it! Re-reading, I just said everything twice…must be the sister thing from your pattern! : )
Congratulations on finishing and thank you so much for sharing the process! I learned a lot and I will definitely be going back to your posts in the future. <3
Thank you so much for thinking of me with one of your patterns and designs. It is nice to be shown as sisters for all of the world to see and experience. Love, AJ

started it last night in Yarn Candy’s sock yarn and love the way it is starting out!!
What a stunning piece of work. It’s a beautiful pattern, equally beautifully done. It has given me inspiration for a shawl for my own sister. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful shawl – can’t wait to knit it!!!
So glad that you gave directions instead of just a chart. I have never been able to follow charts.
A very pretty shawl – thank you for sharing it.
What a BEAUTIFUL PATTERN. I taught myself to knit years ago and have been attempting more difficult patterns over the last two years. I so hope to be able to complete this beautiful pattern. Thank you so very much for your generous spirit.
What a beautiful pattern. I am a self-taught knitter and hope I can finish this shawl. Thank you so very much.
Gorgeous shawl..It is breathtakingly beautiful.
