I appreciate Holli Yeoh’s attention to detail. … Even if the recipient has no idea why the finished project is so nice, I know why it’s so nice.
I think you are just a terrific teacher.
This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.
The pattern is so well written, love it!
Loved your clear instructions and the interesting design elements kept me engaged. I was so pleased with how it was turning out that I was driven to finish!!

Beaconsfield Shawl

Also called German Twisted Cast On, this method is based on the Long Tail Cast On and is a great stretchy cast on to have in your repertoire. This is my favourite cast on for cuff down socks.
