This Woman Is Making Shawls Sexy, I Swear to You

Photo: Peter Mowry/DreaReneeKnits I started knitting in December of 2015 while living alone in a small house on Cape Cod. I was lonely and bored, and I liked crafting, so I learned the basics on YouTube and proceeded to knit many feet of cotton rectangles. After that, I moved on to scarves and cowls .

In an instant, I realized that not only were shawls not lame but that shawls were extremely, primordially cool — essential, gorgeous, decadent. Proto-clothing, the ancestral garment, the eternal, ultimate canvas. In the moody, inviting photos on her site, Mowry was modeling this shawl she’d designed, and she was gorgeous, too. Great hair, captivating teeth. Young. She was covered in mysterious tattoos, and smiling so warmly in the snow.

The more I learn about her, the more curious I am. What’s her life like? What’s next? Is that a cabbage morphing into an anatomical heart on the back of her hand? I love her, she fascinates me, I love that she’s living a life I like knowing is possible. Not that I could have it, or even that I want it , but it’s nice to know that someone like her is out there. Being game, being cheerful and funny, working hard, making patterns, having a cute family, looking great with all those crazy tattoos. But most of all, her patterns are so good. They’re all so good, it’s incredible. They’re fun to knit, practical, beautiful, and sturdy. God, I love them.

sarahbessey I feel like this is right up your alley!! I don't even knit but I literally just bought this pattern & intend to learn, because this shawl is STUNNING!
