Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

Late last year, I ended up learning how to knit. I was taught how to knit socks by my friend Aurore, and I really enjoyed it. I hadn't ever clicked with knitting before, but I did now! It was still very cold in early Spring in Scotland this year, when I thought it would be nice to knit myself something to keep me warm. I did... underestimate how long it would take me, and I actually only finished the shawl in the Summer! Now that it's getting crisper again, I thought it was a good time to talk about this project. As a beginner knitter, I found patterns and instructions really confusing and intimidating, but I really wanted to try to knit something inspired by a shawl that Claire wear in Outlander (maybe it was my nostalgia for leaving Scotland... I actually have only watch one season and a bit of Outlander!).

Between myself and Aurore, we took the rough measurements of the finished shawl in a size M/L from the pattern I mention at the beginning and my gauge, and we adapted it so that it could be knit as two smaller triangles that are then sewn together across the middle. I know that my explanation of this wasn't too clear, so I've made a PDF with my notes, measurements, and stitch numbers which I'll put on my Patreon since I can't upload a file here! I've worn this shawl a couple of times now and I LOVE IT. It's so comfortable and warm. I just wish I'd chosen a little less scratchy wool haha but I think I'll attempt a second shawl in a smooth acrylic yarn to wear around the house too!
