Testknit Half-Pie Shawl for Magazine Summer ‘25

Hi everyone!

I am starting a testknit for a half-pie shawl that I designed for a magazine, summer issue of 2025.

Start: mid July
End: mid August

Conditions:

Images cannot be shared on socials or Ravelry until the release of the magazine somewhere in May 2025.

The pattern is designed for light fingering weight yarn. Those who wish to knit the pattern in a different weight yarn are welcome to do so. However help and reliable advise can only be given for the original weight yarn.

Communication will take place on Ravelry.

A private Instagram chat group can be made for those who enjoy sharing images but as I am taking a little break from socials this will be self organised.
