There’s nothing like a cold winter day to make you want to curl up under a warm and cozy hand knit. I am not a huge shawl knitter, but when I do make shawls I want them to be the knitting equivalent of secret Pajamas – I want a wearable blanket. The Powder Wrap by Casapinka is exactly that. Lucious textured cables line this easy to wrap asymmetrical shawl, inviting you to curl up and get cozy. Knit in a heavy worsted or Aran weight yarn – this pattern is perfect for Jill Draper’s Empire (or Empire Minis!). If you’ve never seen Empire in person before, this giant yarn-baby will have you cuddling it all the way home. Beautiful hand-dyed Empire is 100% Rambouillet wool, reared, sheared, and spun (and dyed of course!) all in the US. This yarn is the embodiment of soft sheepy goodness and will give not only vibrant and unique colors, but amazing stitch definition – perfect for cables. And, at 1280 yards per skein not only will one skein get you an entire wrap (look mom, no extra ends to weave in!), but enough bonus yarn to make coordinating a hat or mittens. There’s nothing quite so satisfying as a one of a kind a one skein project. What color are you going to knit yours in?
