Original Pattern: Milk Run Shawl 

Knitter Extraordinaire: Tatyana (Ravelry ID)

Mods:  Using the shawl as a template, Tatyana added different botanical stitch motifs to the shawl to create something completely original. Details are on her project page,  which can be found here.

What Makes This Awesome: For those of you who love going through stitch dictionaries, this is another great modification idea for you! Tatyana loved the shape of this shawl, but wanted to add some different stitches, and she chose the highly textured travelling vines alternating leaves and berries. Talk about an original, beautiful result! For the shawl lovers out there, are there any stitches (especially cables or travelling designs) tat you would love to try out? Think how beautiful a customized design like this would be on a simple shawl. Bonus tip: chose a shawl pattern that you have knitted before and are familiar with, it’s a bit easier to begin incorporating new designs. And let Tatyana’s stunning shawl inspire you to make bold choices!
