What is the Eternity Shawl Experience all about? 

 
It's a once a year event and it started with a shawl and today it has grown into to a family of patterns. Shawl, fingerless gloves, mittens and a hat … and new this year is a pillow cover and a surprise pattern.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Khalil Gibran

Some things are made to last a lifetime, other things are made to last for eternity 

The Eternity Shawl, or Wrap if you like, is just that … made to last into eternity ... 

 

When you make the Eternity shawl you make almost 2 meters or 7 feet of pure love.

A piece like this takes concentration, determination and persistence to finish.

However, the prize when you cross the finish line is the ultimate feeling of mastery, love and gratitude.

Mastery because finishing a huge piece like this is bound to create the feeling of mastering in you - and isn't that just the best feeling? Boosting your self-esteem and confidence. There is little that can compete with that.

Gratitude because you are able to create such a beautiful piece, which you perhaps didn’t see yourself ever knit … and enjoy the process.

Love … simply because it follows naturally from the mastering and gratitude!

 

You might argue that making it would also take you a lifetime ...

 

I promise you, it doesn’t!

 

All Anne's designs are inspired by the Norwegian nature and light. So also this shawl and the color combination 🤍

 

Original yarn is 27 stitches per 10 cm / 4 in yarn … or fingering yarn if you like.

Needles: 3.0 mm/ 2 US

Number of colors: 7

Knitted in the round and steeked - keep on reading and see how you can fix that steeking (and if you are new to this, steeking means to cut open in the knitting language)!

Size: approximately 180-200 cm / 6-7 feet long and approx 75 cm /2.5 feet wide (can easily be adapted to any size you want)

Original yarn: Supersoft from Holst or Supersoft from Knoll (they are the same but branded differently)

Yarn required of original yarn: 12 balls for the shortest version and 15 for the longest.

 

N.O.W.  Y.O.U.  M.I.G.H.T.  T.H.I.N.K.

"Well, I hear you, but I will never be able to make this shawl." 

 

And, that’s when I say

You are wrong, my dear knitter!

 

If you have knitted colorwork before and you decide that you WANT to knit this, then you CAN knit this.
You just need to make a plan … because this project is not a two week project. 
This is a project to treasure and enjoy to the max.
A project where you knit one row and then you "just have to" sit there and touch and look at your work for a few minutes before you knit the next row.
INTRODUCING...

The Eternity Shawl Experience is first and foremost a Mountain Rose Shawl designed with Norwegian knitting traditions in mind - and this is the third time it is made available in English - and most likely the last time it will be available in this format. 

This is a shawl to USE into eternity and you will in this experience get all you need to make the shawl in the next 52 weeks ... if not sooner. 

You can adapt both the width and the length to your own preferences, however remember to also adjust the yarn amount you buy.

The shawl is knit in the round before you steek it (if you're not familiar with the jargon, steek means cut in the knitting world). And to make sure you are covered, you get a complete steeking and finishing course which will enable you to make any kind of steeking in the future.

You also get a list of shops and a video to help you find yarn shops that have the original yarn. 

And if you cannot find the yarn, or want to use a local yarn, you will find a video tutorial and pdf explaining how and where to find alternative yarn.

An extensive walk through of colors and how to pick your colors to get the most out of the pattern and makes sure the pattern doesn't “disappear” in the colors - you are also invited to a Color Party Workshop Week that will be held May 22-28, more info will come.

I know that this project can be a challenge and the best of us might need a little motivation now and then to get it finished. Therefore you also get a 52 week long inspiration plan to help you get to the finish line - and for those who sign up for our knitting club the Nook you get, 6 live Q&A calls to get you started in June as well as quarterly live check in calls to motivate and inspire you to move forward

And of course the pattern itself - AND pattern to a matching hat, gloves, fingerless gloves and a pillow case ... AND another surprise pattern. All dripped out in the months to come.  

 

WHAT MAKES THE ETERNITY SHAWL EXPERIENCE SO ENCHANTING!

Patterns to shawl, hat mittens and fingerless mittens, a pillow case and a surprise pattern - all dripped out

Detailed yarn descriptions to help you find alternatives wherever you are in the world. 

 

Complete steeking / cutting course - become a steeking expert and use your new learning on new exiting projects in the future.

Video tutorials, pdf files and Canva templates to support you when you shall decide on your colors.

List of yarn shops around the world selling the yarns used in the patterns. And links to yarn shops in the US and Canada selling kits.

I’ve been knitting and learning from Anne for the last two years. Her patterns are easy to follow and understand. What I also like are her tutorial videos. They are helpful in explaining the pattern and makes your knitting easier and increases your knitting confidence. The end result is a garment that will fit beautifully and you will love.

NO REGRETS! This Eternity Shawl has opened up a whole new world for me! It got me excited about knitting again! The design is AMAZING, the pattern is super easy to follow, learning new techniques as I go and making new friendships from all around the world. I was hesitant because of the price at first but quickly realised that this experience is priceless!!

The eternity shawl has been my favorite pro just to date. It is fun to knit, it never gets boring, it’s a fabulous project to get your colorwork skills to where you want them to be. It’s gorgeous when completed, I made two one in blues and the other in greens. Different but equally beautiful. Unfortunately for me my daughters thought so as well and I have a difficult time not gifting my knitting!

Henry Van Dyke

Who's the designer?

That's me, Anne! 
A knitting designer, a yarn lover, color conscious Norwegian , knitting motivator and in love with nature and knitting of all kinds. 

Short story is that I have knitted since ... forever.

I have designed knitting patterns my whole life, as I always have made my own designs and never ever followed someone else's pattern (apart from 2 times). I have designed for you guys for nearly 10 years now and thousands of people have knitted my patterns in Norwegian. Now I am all focused on you knitting the patterns in English - and, in addition to designing, teaching knitting is now my mission.  And what can I say? I am loving every minute of it! 

There is little I find more inspiring than to motivate YOU to move your needles and create magic.
