What George Knits - Shawlography Shawl
Another Stephen West Mystery Knit-A-Long came a long in October and I was a bit on the fence about taking part. But then an idea entered my head and I couldn't get it out.

What Maya and George Knits! - Brioche + Mystery Shawl
George's Brioche + Mystery Shawl I love a mystery knit-a-long. The adventure and challenge of being faced with an interesting project and the unknown. You don’t know what direction it will turn.

The description of the end times does not sound great, there will be a winter lasting for several years, kinsfolk and friends will be slaying each other... -

As the pandemic spread and London went into lock-down, I went into melting mode. Turning to my knitting for comfort, none of my ongoing projects gave the nurture or the calm I was looking for. Maybe this is because they were newly started summer projects, in thinner yarns and airy stitches, neither carried the promise of what I needed the...
