THE FESTIVITES BEGIN NOVEMBER 5TH
The Westknits Hiberknitalong 2026 will start with a reveal of the Twinkling Twilight Shawl. The shawl is inspired by the soft stillness of winter landscapes as the sun sets and the stars glitter in the night sky. This pattern is centerpiece of the latest addition to my Hiberknitting ebook series, but it will also be available individually on December 17th.
