Absolutely your shawl is like a wearable blanket, how comforting it must be to wear. A stunning design by Myrna Stahman. Thanks so much for sharing about her book. :)

I have this book in my library and it has been an endless source of inspiration over the years :)

Thanks for telling us about the unique styling provided in this book. It sounds quite interesting. I have been thinking of making a shawl or bed jacket with a hood for sitting up on winter nights to read or knit in bed. The idea of making the hood in a loose garter stitch with the shoulder shaping you have described, and perhaps one of Myrna's short shawl patterns might be the way to go! The James book also sound like a good read! Many thanks!

Have ordered James! Thank you for sharing that.

When I was in high school I used to wear my dad’s cable knit sweater. Many years later a friend started knitting and got me going. It wasn’t the first thing I knitted but I did knit a cable knit sweater. I’d love to take a stab at a shawl like this or similar. And some day I will.

Be bold! If you've already knit a cabled sweater, a lace shawl is well within your reach. And enjoy James.
