I knit a rectangular shaped shawl that screamed for tassels – I made 4 tassels and attached them to the corners of the shawl.

I uploaded a video of how to make these tassels on YouTube. It’s a bit long (7:37 minutes) but does show a very good way to make tassels.

I love this new way of knitting that I’ve discovered! It’s really quite simple. . . knit a row, purl a row. The catch is to use a circular needle and knit with one color. Then instead of turning the work around to purl back, you slide the stitches to the other end of the circular needle and purl across with a 2nd color.

Then you turn the work around as usual and repeat the knit and purl rows as described above.

I’ll be selling this new pattern at  Shepherd’s Harvest this year. Come and see me! I’m sharing a booth with Gale Woods Farm.
Here are a few more photos of the shawl to tempt you.
