Hello everyone!
I’ve completed my second “Back Porch Shawl” and have written the pattern. This one is much longer than my first so there’s more to wrap around you to keep the chill off.
I used the super soft and cushy Main Street Yarns available over at loveknitting.com. I used Dark Grey, Tweed Grey and Off White.
AND, it’s now available for FREE here on my website.

Happy knitting!

In the picture above the yarns are blue, what did you use as Main Street doesn’t have those hues. Thank you.

As a brand new knitter, I love this pattern. I’m pretty sure I understand it. My mom is a knitter she makes a ton of slippers (nothing like most knitted slippers I see online). Since my mom is aging I had her teach me a couple weeks ago, my single slipper doesn’t look anything like hers! I think my knit stitch is tighter than hers. I might need to watch a video for the yarn over a couple more times to understand it. I do not understand the gauge thing. My mom keeps asking me what type of yarn I need (I had a different shawl pattern, but I really like your pattern better) mom has a massive amount of yarn given to her a month ago, like garbage bags full and boxes. Probably need different needles but mom said circular needles were included in the stuff she was given. Wish me luck, maybe I can finish it before the cold weather hits in October lol Thank you for the pattern!

Hello there! This shawl is not a kit but I can give you some links to check out the yarn I used. The shawl is actually 2 shades of grey with an off white collar, but a lot of people do see blue. Here are links to the colours I used and the blues that I’m recommending to people who see the shades of blue.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

this yarn is an acrylic and washable per the site. Should this be blocked when completed and after each laundry?

Hi Karen. I haven’t blocked it after washing. The yarn has a nice drape to it that isn’t lost once it’s washed. I hope this helps! Happy knitting!
