Imagine a wooden cottage in the deep, snow-covered woods. You are inside, sitting in an armchair by the fireplace, cuddling with this shawl, with a book in one hand, and a cup of tea in the other. There is no noise except the soft crackling of firewood.You feel warm, content and happy, and wish to freeze this moment in time.
I started working on this shawl while catching up on the Outlander series, which I can happily report I finished, and the lovely Fraser cottage was the inspiration for the name.
The shawl is made using a granny stripe pattern that gets lively with the addition of the Irish roses. Again, I used the Papatya Batik yarn in my favourite color-work, and I think it contributes to a great extent for the whole appearance of the shawl.
More information about the pattern in my etsy shop.

Beautiful and I love the flowers! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ's.
Oh, how I want to sit in that cottage, both with a good book and a cup of tea, in a pretty teacup in hand, being hugged by this gorgeous granny shawl. The colours are gorgeous and those crochet flowers, divine. This summer loving gal is not quite sure about the snow though, Maya, but all would be well if there is the promise of a blazing fire. =)
I have seen reports that shawls and wraps are going to be all the rage this year. I think this one will be a favorite with crafters to make. Thanks so much for visiting. #HomeMattersParty
Hi Donna, well I hope that's the case. Current historical TV shows have a great contribution for shawls getting into the spotlight :)
