Forsyth
This is a simple garter stitch shawlette that incorporates stripes and eyelet rows for added
interest. This is a quick knit project because it used worsted weight yarn and a larger needle.
This project can be knit up over a weekend. The picot bind off adds interest to the edge with a
little bit of sass. It can be worked into a larger shawl by adding more repeats and stripes.

Yarn Management
When you work with two colors you will need to make sure that your yarn doesn’t get twisted. Work from the center of
each ball to make sure that your yarn stays tidy. When working with stripes you will need to wrap the non working color
over the strand of the working yarn at the begining of each right side row to make sure that there is not any long tails
hanging.
