There comes a time in most knitters' lives when a delicious pattern lures us to venture beyond where we have been before. Challenging us to leave our knitting comfort zone. We may be chastened a bit by ratings like intermediate, advanced, experienced. We may be stunned by the sheer magnitude of stitches. And awed by the directory of symbols signifying unfamiliar techniques. But we journey forth anyway.

Several years ago, a lovely lace shawl caught my knitter's eye. I had made other shawls before, but never an intricate and delicate lace like this one, with repeats that happened only after 20 rows of skillful knitting. I was convinced that this type of lace knitting wasn't for me. I was pretty sure I lacked the major personality prerequisites for it. Like mindfulness and patience. But the shawl was inviting. Intriguing. Daring me. So why not just give it a try?

Using just the basic knit stitch, you can make this classic garter stitch scarf in our beautiful Landscapes yarn in the Coral Reef colorway (swatch pictured, bottom right). It's the perfect project for a beginner or just for easy, travel-knitting, but the colors are so rich and lively, you'll want to wear it every time the weather gets cool!

Our kit includes 3 balls of Landscapes in 530-281 Coral Reef, as well as the pattern for this item. Needles and other tools not included. Originally $17.97; now only $8.98!

**Please note that color on model is NOT on sale; colorway shown in swatch is color being offered.
