Love Story Shawl KIT
From € 76,06
This floaty shawl is a celebration of Hélène’s own yarn, Love Story Einband. Hélène highlights the frothy transparency of laceweight lambswool by working with a single strand for much of the piece, occasionally mixing in rows that combine 1 strand each of 2 colors, for a dash of marled texture. The lacy stitch pattern is easy to memorize—every other row is a rest row in which you simply knit or purl across. At the end of this pleasant process you have a halo of weightless warmth to envelop your shoulders and neck, just waiting to take flight in a coastal breeze.
This kit doesn´t include the pattern that is to be found exclusively in MDK Field Guide 26: Moss. It won´t be available as a single pattern and is only in English.

From Modern Daily Knitting´s blog:
“In an early planning session with Hélène Magnússon for MDK Field Guide No. 26, we made one special request.
Having immersed ourselves in the designer’s body of work, we had fallen hard for her way with lace. Maybe it’s not surprising in someone who spent 10 years in search of the perfect cobweb lambswool yarn, but Hélène has a wonderful touch with lace designs. Her floaty shawls and scarves have a delicious simplicity; they are light in weight and light in ornament. They capture the primal essence of lace knitting, and its practicality as a layer of weightless warmth. Please make us one of those, we said.
With the Love Story Shawl, we got everything we wished for—and yet somehow we were surprised. Surprised and delighted.”
