Keep Calm Craft On: Holden Shawl

Joining Nicole at Frontier Dreams for Keep Calm Craft On

My Holden shawl in amazing Riverside Studio Merino, a gift for a friend






I loved working with this pattern and yarn so much and I am so happy with the result that I will definitely be casting on another one soon…

Happy crafting on!

  2. Gorgeous, gorgeous! I am still working on Ysolda's KAL but it's so many stitches long now and the lace... yikes. But I'm inspired by your shawl. Nice work!

  6. Hi! I'm sorry this is a question unrelated to your shawl, although it's very beautiful! I just discovered your blog as I'm sifting through my choices for a first grade curriculum for next year. We are also a Waldorf-inspired family, but I'm stuck on figuring out what will fit us well for next year. May I ask what curriculum, if any, you use? Or do you put lessons together yourself? I'd love to hear, if you have any time to respond. Many thanks!

    1. Hello, I've been using Waldorf Essentials Grade 1 bundle as well as a French curriculum called Ecole-de-la-terre because I homeschool my children in French. I also do put some lessons together myself. I have been using Christopherus packages for the older grades (with my older children) and I really like them, so I'm sure that their Grade 1 material must be very good. I hope this is helpful… Good luck to you!
