Continuum

Continuum takes its name from the continuous journey or thread the main colour forms through this shawl. Despite the unusual construction and three different colours, the main colour is never broken until the end. This shawl has a unique construction with a touch of mystery to it; it’s virtually impossible to pick where the shawl begins. The variety of techniques and constant intrigue mean this is never a boring knit. Continuum is a shawl that combines some of my favourite techniques to knit, with the result being a shawl that is infinitely wearable and a talking point.

Construction:

Continuum uses an unusual modular construction to create a shallow asymmetrical triangle-shaped shawl. It begins with an off-kilter kite shape that morphs into a mitred square. From there picking up stitches, increases and short rows are used to alter and change the shawl shape as it grows in width before finally finishing with a picot cast-off.
