Questions and Answers

The Questions and Answers shawl uses fairly mindless knitting and contrasting skeins to result in bold color play. Starting at one corner and increasing to the other side, each stripe dances across almost to the other edge, where it is met and answered by its contrasting partner. Because the edges have twisted garter strips in the contrasting color, you never have to cut your yarn or carry it up the edge, so there are only four ends to weave in at the end. Have skeins of unusual size? This shawl is perfect using up every bit of yardage, regardless of how much you have – just knit until you almost run out of yarn. The twisted edge can even be used for styling – just thread a shawl end through one of the gaps!
