Knitting isn’t just amazing yarns, stitches and movements of the needles. It is a sense of community, friends -  people with whom we share moments of joy and sorrow. 

Friendship inspired the Knit Love Unite shawl. Tiina from Titityy and Jonna from Laine got to know each other years ago and have since listened and encouraged each other, and knitted hundreds of sweaters. “Knitting has given us so much, above all you; the wonderful knitting community. Let this shawl serve as a sign of that. It is a touch of sun-yellow retro feel, with the  much needed peace and love that we breathe.”
