Memory Keeper's Shawl

Your first pair of lace socks, that sweater you knit for your first born, that yarn you got while on holiday. All the memories, all the moments. Knit them all into this shawl and create a fiber scrapbook of your memories. Using a neutral color as a second yarn throughout the shawl creates a cohesive, calming look to the whole shawl so you don’t have to worry about the skeins matching. This shawl will look like you, like the projects you’ve knit in the past.

Easy to knit, this shawl is perfect for picking up here and there when new scraps appear. Or sit down for some relaxing TV knitting with your bag or jar of those precious left-overs.

You need approx. 718 m / 785 yds of fingering weight yarn in a neutral color AND an equal amount of fingering weight scraps or miniskeins various colours. I used 2 skeins of grey undyed wool for the sample. Below is a suggestion for a suitable yarn for the background color. NOTE that the scraps are not included in the materials list here!
