Stalking: Shawls, Tops, and the Knit Dress Debate4:24 – 11:40

G

GailHost

4:24

What have you been stalking? [laughs]

C

4:27

Well, the first one, I don't remember how I found this one, but something about this is very cool.

C

4:36

It's a crochet shawl called The Overstory, and it's designed by Christina Hattera.

C

4:45

And it's a large circular shawl, and if you are a reader, you might recognize the name of the shawl as the title of a book by Richard Powers.

C

4:58

The book does happen to be a novel that I really enjoyed, so that is why I think the shawl and the name is really fun.

C

5:08

The book is centered around the life of trees, and there is a beautiful ring in the middle of the shawl with these very defined leaves.

C

5:20

And it's just gorgeous.

C

5:23

I think it, it looks so cool.

C

5:27

And the other interesting thing is that this designer has several book-inspired patterns, which is a really unique place to look for inspiration for patterns.

G

GailHost

5:40

That shawl is gorgeous.

C

5:43

You see that le- that ring of leaves-

G

GailHost

5:45

Oh, yeah

C

5:46

...

C

5:46

in the middle? They're so well-defined.

G

GailHost

5:49

Wow.

C

5:49

I really like it.

G

GailHost

5:50

That is beautiful.

C

5:51

Yeah.

C

5:52

It's a 45-inch diameter shawl.

C

5:56

It's circular.

C

5:57

Or 115 centimeters, and it calls for 1,200 to 2,100 yards-Which is 1,100 to 2,000 meters of yarn.

C

6:13

So it, it's probably one of those shawls that you start in the center, and then you can keep going out, making it as big as you want.

C

6:23

So there's a range of yarn.

C

6:25

I...

C

6:25

But again, that ring of leaves just really caught me.
