Rose Gold KAL
Sometimes we all need a little selfish knitting, especially this time of year. Join us for the Rose Gold KAL until December 10th to make a beautiful brioche shawl that really shows off gorgeous gradient sets. This project is knit entirely in brioche, but would make a great choice to expand your skillset. Don’t forget to enter your finished shawl in the Ravelry thread by December 10th at midnight to be entered to win a $50 fibre space gift card.
Happy Stitching!
