Tilted Texture by Jennifer Weissman
$57.00
In Tilted Texture, simple textures come together to create an elegant and reversible shawl, perfectly adapted to advanced beginners! Weissman has a wonderful eye for textures, and ease of creation is forefront in her work. This piece begins with just two stitches and gradually grows into a right triangle. As you knit, you encounter one textured stitch pattern after another. The variety keeps the project interesting, and the stitch patterns are simple, perfect for social or travel knitting. When Tilted Texture is worn, its lines are tilted on the diagonal, creating a lovely, eye-catching effect (which makes it look more complicated than it really is).
The designer recommends either solid or semi-solid colors for this project to enhance the pattern. Weissman also states that this pattern can be made in Fingering up to DK weight yarn; just remember that the shawl will grow larger (and require extra yardage and bigger needles) on thicker yarn. Written instructions are provided as well as 2 charts.
