Thank you so much for these worksheets.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to knit a Faroese shawl for a while now. Yes the triangular ones do slip off your shoulders. I have a couple of patterns but not exactly what I want. What puts me off doing my own is the maths involved. YUK! Still faint heart etc. Will give it a go! Thanks again for taking the time to post it & sharing it.
Do you think this worksheet could be adapted to crochet? My crochet skills are much more advanced than my knitting skills, and as I have found other knit shawl patterns well beyond my knitting skills.
