Modified Tracks in the Snow - Knitting in the Park

A worsted take on the formerly chunky cabled shawl with garter ridges

For Christmas this year, I knit three shawls using Hygge, a chunkier yarn. I fell in love with every single one of them. But, I’m out of the yarn and had a good bit of worsted weight from Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice on hand. So I decided to try one of theses shawls in a worsted weight yarn. I picked the Tracks in the Snow Shawl. The original version of this was made to my soon to be sister in law and I think she quite liked it! As for the worsted weight version, I have to say, I love the way it turned out.

I think Murphy likes it too…or at least he likes modeling it. He’s such a diva. This shawl took probably twice as long for me to knit as it needed to as I kept having to coax him from laying on it. Do you have a pet that loves to claim your WIPs for their pillows?

Yarn for the Modified Tracks in the Snow:

Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand. 5 skeins (170 yards per skein). This is an acrylic yarn so you can wash it. I chose this yarn because I envision wrapping up in this shawl around a campfire this summer. This specific shade is called “Peacock”

It brings out the color of Murphy’s eyes…and distracts from his shiner compliments of the stray cat living under our shed.
