I’ve been knitting consistently for almost two years now. That sounds like a fair amount of time, but I still feel pretty new to the hobby. I’ve been successful in a lot of different projects, but I’ve never knit a scarf or a shawl. I see so many shawl patterns on LoveCrafts and on Ravelry; they seem like the most popular knits, but I was never really interested in them because I didn’t think they were my style. But after making the Fantastitch, I think shawls are the perfect knit — big enough to be interesting, but small enough to finish in a reasonable time and easy to store.
