Bougainville is a versatile scarf/shawl pattern that you can easily knit at any gauge and any size, using the yarn that suits you best! In fact, I knit the prototype in a sport-weight cotton yarn and I’ll be knitting my second shawl along with you in a lighter and larger version, using the lace/fingering weight silk yarn pictured below and hoping for a more luscious result! Will you join me?

Participating in the MKAL gives you a chance to win one of the surprise MKAL prizes that I’ll be announcing next week in the MKAL thread; and what’s more, you get the pattern at a really tempting EarlyBird price, as long as you complete your purchase by May 29, 2016.

So, go ahead and dive into your stash for at least 360 yards of yarn or buy the yarn of your dreams and get ready for some really happy knitting! I’ll keep you posted, so stay tuned for more news!
