The third and final shawl in the Norn series is now available to the members of the KAL. This is Urðr, the Norn representing the past. It is from her well that the Norns draw the water needed to tend to the great world tree Yggdrasil, so I made the shawl circular like the well. It starts out deep blue in the centre and spreads in water rings towards the edge. The edging shows the water lapping agains the edges of the well and have white crests like waves.
It is a very large shawl – 180 cm (almost 6 feet) in diameter. But it makes it a great shawl to wrap yourself in.
What I usually do with circular shawls is to fold the top part a little bit and then drape it over my shoulders.
A great big thank you to all the amazing knitters who participated in the Seasons of Lace – Summer KAL with the Norns shawls. I am thoroughly enjoying your company, and the finished shawls on Ravelry are truly amazing. I hope to see you all during the Autumn KAL with World Heritage sites, where we will be continuing on the Norse/Viking theme. The three shawls in the fall line-up are from the World Heritage Sites L’Anse Aux Meadows (Newfoundland, Canada), Tanumshede (Bohuslän, Sweden) and Jelling (Denmark). More on those in later posts. They will be released in that order, so first up is L’Anse Aux Meadows in September.
