This is the first chapter in our eBook called ShawlStar by Elizabeth Felgate. Rest assured, you’re far from the only one who’s asking this question.

It comes down to whether you’re a Product or a Process Knitter.

If You’re a Product Knitter

You want to make sure that the items you make will actually get used!

Felgate tells us that “Shawls have been keeping us warm and enhancing our appearance for hundreds of years.”. How’s that for something that will get used?

Fortunately, with shawls, there are lots of types of shawls. You can pick the type that you’ll end up wearing (stripes, lace, cables, beads, colorwork, streamlined, it’s really up to you).

There’s a lot of variety in shawls.

If You’re a Process Knitter

This one is a bit easier because you just enjoy the process of Knitting.

Felgate shares with us that “simple, practical wraps, and exquisite showpieces featuring fiendishly challenging lace work both exist in shawls”.

What you end up making is really up to you! What do you enjoy making? You really have your options wide open here.

Is there a stitch you like making? Or, maybe a technique that you want to master? You’ll most-likely find a shawl that uses them!
