Join Stephen West as he takes you a shawl journey that begins with his very first triangular shawl pattern"Boneyard Shawl" Ten years later, Stephen is still creating adventurous shawl shapes that transform from simple architectural shapes into complex splashy displays of color. We will experiment with elements like colorful stripes, WestKnits shortcut rows and yarn overs to turn our simple triangles int shapely shawl evolutions. After exploring techniques, you will have the opportunity to cast on one of the projects from "Shawl Evolution" with Stephen's help, or to mix up your favorite elements into your own shawl mashup! Enjoy an invigorating workshop filled with color and texture!
