Check out the KAL page for progress pictures, inspiration ideas, crowd-sourcing questions, and other pattern notes. Please note that this pattern has been tech edited as of V2.0 (July 31, 2019) Hi Folks! Thank you for checking out the Wingspan shawl! Designed with Blue Brick yarn, this piece stands at the intersection of knitting and nature. The shawl is as light and elegant as it is regal and powerful, drawing inspiration from the wings of a bird. This symmetrical pattern can be a bit of a tedious knit, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. Wingspan combines intermediate-level knitting techniques, such as increases, decreases, cables, and short-rows to give it the look and feel of feathers. Whether you are knitting it for yourself, a friend, or a family member, the future recipient is bound to love it! Note: On paper, this pattern may look a little intimidating due to length; however, the techniques used are not that complicated. There are a few sections that will require very close concentration, particularly when transitioning from one row of feathers to the next. Stitch markers and charts have been added to help with these transition sections. Instructions Included: -- Standard written instructions -- (Very) High-level schematic -- Charted instructions (transition sections only: B, D, & F) -- I am also experimenting with a new form of instructions that attempts to teach the reader the key construction aspects of the shawl (e.g., feathers, wing shape, etc.) so that they don’t have to look down at the page frequently. It certainly isn’t for everyone, but I hope some folks will find it useful! Here’s a quick summary of the pattern: Sizes: -- Size A: a small neck scarf / shawlette size -- Size B: a classic scarf / shawl size (the original sample) -- Size C: a large shawl / wrap size -- Unless otherwise noted, differences in the instructions for the various sizes have been denoted as: A (B, C). Dimensions: -- Maximum wingspan: 45 (70, 90) in / 114 (178, 229) cm -- Depth of wings: 13 (17, 18) in / 33 (43, 46) cm Yarn Requirements: -- 400 (800, 1200) yards of fingering-weight yarn -- The sample shown (Size B) used one entire skein of Blue Brick Manitoulin Merino Sparkle Wooly Mammoth in the Ibis colorway (fingering-weight, 800 yards, 200 grams) Needles: -- 3.25 mm (US 3) circular needles (40-inch or larger recommended) -- 4.5 mm (US 7) straight or circular needles for bind-off Gauge: -- The gauge for this pattern 32 sts by 56 rows for a 4” by 4” square in linen stitch before blocking Other Materials: -- Stitch markers (up to 26) -- Cable needle (optional) -- Tapestry needle to weave in ends -- Blocking mats and pins -- Highlighter tape (optional) Acknowledgements I’d like to extend an enormous thank-you to Shireen from Blue Brick yarns for providing the yarn and the opportunity to design something with it. She imbues so much heart into her work, and she put such an immense amount of effort into making this pattern happen, particularly getting such incredible shots of the shawl (modeled by the lovely Juile Crawford). Thank you again! And thank you, Julie! Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Reach out! I’ll do my best to respond back as quickly as I can. If I don’t get back to you right away, please forgive me! I probably have my nose buried in a book for grad school. Errata (all points below have already been corrected in V2.3 of the pattern): -- Rows 20 and 42 were previously missing the linen-stitch repeats -- Corrected “20-1” to “20-2” in the repeat instruction at the end of Section C, page 5 -- Corrected “78” to “80” in the repeat instruction in Section H following Rows 79 and 80 Please note that the following errata were only relevant for the older version of the pattern. All of these points have already been addressed in the latest version of the pattern. Old Version Errata: -- On Page 5, the short-row numbers for 23 and 24 were mixed up, but this has been updated (no impact to instructions) -- On Page 5, Row 28 should end with “4 times, S1F” not “5 times, S1F” -- On Page 5, Row 29 should end with “4 times, K1” not “2 times, K1” -- On Page 6, Row 43 should contain a K2 immediately after the last R7, before the M1R -- On Page 13, in Section I the S1Fs should be S1Bs, and the S1B should be S1F. -- On Page 13, in Section I the note should say to repeat Section I 11 times, not Section G. -- On Page 16, there were two instances where ‘left’ should have been ‘right’ in the CP3T instructions, which have been updated to: slip one stitch purlwise to the right needle, then slip two stitches purlwise to a cable needle and hold in the front; slip the next stitch on the left needle to the right needle, slip one stitch from the cable needle to the right needle, insert your left needle into the backs of the three stitches on the right needle and purl the stitches together, then purl the stitch on the cable needle -- On Page 16, the meaning of R9 has been updated to: rearrange the next 9 stitches

There are several reasons why caring about finger meaning and symbolism can boost your journey with crystals. Wearing rings is not just about style. It sends messages to: • other people, according to cultural belief, tradition, and story; • your unconscious mind. and +plus, it's a powerful tool you can use to boost your vibes and stay focused on your goals and purposes. First, think about this extraordinary tool you have: your hands. Hands are your primary instruments to turn your visions, ideas, and projects into something tangible. You also use your hands to explore, experience every surface and shape, make someone closer, connect your core to the Universe during meditation ...and the list goes on and on. Humans know how their hands have been precious in their lives during the course of history. A QUICK NOTE BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THE FASCINATING WORLD OF FINGER MEANING AND SYMBOLISM: The purpose of this article is to encourage everyone to live a more meaningful and intentional life, awakening the spiritual and physical that everyone has within. The techniques, knowledge, and practices in this article should be combined with a grateful lifestyle and intentional and conscious living to create a positive and effective result. Hands have a crucial role in material and spiritual life. Because of that, I want you to be more grateful for everything your hands do for you at many levels on a daily basis. Now that you're more conscious of the role of your hands try to think about what happens if you give them more power intentionally. What do I mean by "intentionally"? I mean consciously and meaningfully. Based on the different meanings and roles of hands and fingers, you can wear rings intentionally to stay more focused on your goals and gain the spiritual skills you want and need. Here's how: Right and Left hands: different roles RIGHT HAND • With the right hand, you give energy to the outside world. • Right is the hand of physical action • The Right hand is the masculine essence (yang side) WORK ON THE RIGHT HAND TO: • share specific qualities of the Universe • wear your ring on the right if you feel that you already have the quality and purpose you want to share and manifest to the world. Everything you need is to make them actionable. LEFT HAND • With the left hand, you receive energy. • The Left is the hand of creativity and process • Left is the thinking hand • Left is the feminine essence (yin side) WORK ON THE LEFT HAND TO: • get or elaborate on specific qualities or skills • have the perfect mindset to generate specific skills. What if I'm left-handed? If you use your left hand to deliver your feelings, ideas, and thoughts, that's the giving hand for you. Then, the right hand is the hand of getting. Looking how different cultures emphasizes giving or receiving aspect is very interesting, I would love to go deeper in to that in one of the future articles ;) Ring Meaning & Symbolism finger by finger INDEX • Embodies Jupiter, the supreme God of the Romans. • Wearing rings on this finger focuses you on self-confidence, action, ambition, communication, and leadership. • Crystals that boost index qualities are Blue Topaz, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, Peridot. • Natural Element: Water >> Wanna know how to grow your Leadership skills by wearing rings?

Everything you need to know about getting involved in Fashion Revolution Week 2020.
In today's culture of disposable fashion, the simple art of basic darning and mending has been all but forgotten.
Nowadays, some things are simply not made the same quality as they used to be. Take clothing, for instance; that pair of jeans your dad has been wearing for what feels like a decade now would never have survived this long if it was produced by one of the fast fashion brands we see plenty of today. Granted, such situations depend on many different factors, from the item itself and the materials used to who the manufacturer is.
