Free until 10am tomorrow, this is such a great shawl to knit 👏

The joys of the FFFS (read to the end for a treat)

If you haven't yet knit a Fuss Free Festival Shawl you might be wondering what all the fuss is about.

Originally it was designed for a dyer at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival - we wanted a pattern that was simple enough to be cast on at a festival. You know the times when you find a perfect skein of hand-dyed sockweight yarn and you want to cast on immediately for the journey home.

It's that kind of project.

Squishy, stretchy garter stitch
Works well with hand dyed yarn, speckles or stripes
Easy to memorise increases
A wearable, asymmetric crescent shape
Over the years I have adapted it for a two skein version and a two-colour striped version (which is in the PDF) and knitters have been endlessly inventive with how they have interpreted the pattern.

If you haven't knit one yet maybe I can persuade you to have a go - I'm willing to bet you have the perfect skein of yarn already sitting, waiting in your stash.

And for 24hrs it is free on my website and on Ravelry with no code needed. Offer expires at 10am sharp (UK) on 20.10.26 though so you'll need to be quick.

Remember my popular Jamboree sleeveless top? We have the pattern and yarn back in stock.
This week we’re open on reduced hours as I still can’t drive. However, I’m feeling much better. Getting regular walks in, had my hair sorted out Saturday (always makes me feel better! )And managed to meet Paula for a brew too. Blood pressure is spot on and still working on the cholesterol levels. Last week my confidence was struggling, I was a bit worried I’d overdo it and probably too cautious. Now I’m sensibly optimistic and I’m taking the downtime as a good thing while I can. Thank you for all your lovely posts and messages. I’m so grateful for your patience and continued support and I’m looking forward to seeing you all, Di
