My husband is a truck driver, several times a year he drives by Mt Rainier. He says it's his mountain! 😂 Sunshine, rain, fog, or snow. He sends me pictures, it's a beautiful site! ❤❤❤
No I was never to the US. But lived on Bali and Indonesia with many active volcanos. Now im in Switzerland . In 4h I'm in Italy with Etna etc also active volcanos. Thanks for this pattern and your uplifting words.
I was born in Seattle and my mother's family is all still living in towns around there. My mom and her 9 brother and sisters all grew up saying "The mountain is out!" whenever Mt. Rainier wasn't covered in clouds. It's a mountain with such a beautiful, large presence.
This is a beautiful pattern. as always. I have been to the Pacific northwest. It is a beautiful area. My husband and I love visiting there. There is always something new to see every time we go.
Congratulations, Mary! Your comment was chosen to win the Devoted Hues Pearlescent Fingering kit used to make the Rainier shawl. Please send us a message using our contact form at www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and let us know where you'd like us to ship the yarn. Thanks, and have a wonderful day!
Beautiful! I lived in British Columbia, Canada for 15 years. On a clear day, I could see Mt Rainier from my kitchen window! The Pacific Northwest is a peaceful, serene and magical corner of a troubled world.
I was so pleased to hear of a shawl named after Mt. Rainer! It is beautiful. I lived in Kent, Washington for about 25 yrs before I moved back to N.C. my home state. You are so correct about that being a beautiful state and I miss it. When my kids and I would go to store or to catch a bus we walked up a small incline and there we saw Mt. Rainer everyday such a beautiful blessing. I love the colors you chosen.
I attended a writers conference in Seattle and fell in love with the depth of scenery that took my breath away. We had breakfast at the Pike Place Market each morning while we gathered material for our writing sessions.
My husband and I went to a wedding in Seattle several years back. We had a chance to hike in a wooded Park in the area. There was an otherworldly beauty and peace surrounding us on that hike.
I'm so fortunate to live a few hours away from Mt Rainier. We hike there every summer to visit the wildflowers and it is truly the most gorgeous experience ever!
We live in South Florida and we're fortunate with fish and seafood, yet I cannot tell you how incredible I thought the fish/seafood was everywhere in WA state. The other place we visited was Westport,WA and it was one of my favorite little seafood towns. That entire region is so beautiful and we hope to explore many other places, including Idaho, which I've looked into for much time now. Enjoy your beautiful region!!
My husband is from Washington State, it’s so beautiful!! Thankyou so much for this pattern !!!!😮 it’s above my pay grade for sure…..😮😮😮😮however, with lots of starting and stopping, playing and replaying….I think I’m going to give it a try! Oh how I wish you were right beside me!!!! Bless you for all your videos! You’ve taught me a lot!!!❤❤❤
I LOVE Mt Rainier. Went camping there... a little over 9 years ago. My nephew got so sick so we had to go back to my sister's house in Marysville after just one night, and I spent the next week taking care of the kids while my sister and her husband were also sick. Not a fun vacation, but I've been back several times since! My bf and I have thought about moving up there ourselves even though that sister now lives with me in Utah. I have another sister who lives just outside downtown Seattle, and my bf was born in Tacoma (though his dad was military, and they moved shortly afterward). Taking a ferry across the Puget Sound while wrapped in a cozy knit is so much fun!
You are so right! The Pacific Northwest is incredibly beautiful. Although I have only visited for a very short time many years ago, it is on my bucket list to go back and thoroughly explore again. There are so many wonderful and unique sights. God is truly creative and blessed us with such an incredible creation to enjoy!
Living in Washington state allows me to see Mt Rainier daily. Everyday the mountain looks different. This time of year it is magnificent . It is covered with snow. The shawl is a beautiful tribute to Mt Rainier.
My husband and I visited Seattle on our anniversary and had to pull over to take pictures of Snoqualmie Pass. The fog rising from the valleys, the gorgeous tall evergreens, and the snow covered peaks were mesmerizing.
Hi Chandi,I have! When I was 12 years old I spent a summer with my great-great Aunt Georgia in the state of Washington. We took a ferry ride to Canada and saw whales along the way. Wow that was over 40 years ago. Thank you for making me remember that summer.💕
My brother moved to Tacoma over 40 years ago. I moved him out there twice. Many trips to visit with my mom, many birthday visits with my beautiful niece. All trips included a trip to the mountain! My favorite one was a little over 25 years ago when my husband proposed to me on Mt. Rainier!
I love the look of this shawl. However I do have a problem with reversing anything. Can this be worked with DP needles for the square part? I can't juggle either 😅
What a great name for the beautiful shawl from a beautiful place. I lived in Washington longer than I had lived any place else. I still consider it home and like the locals say, “the mountain is out today.” 😊
My Husband and I went to a charming little town called Anacortes Washington in 2018 it was so beautiful there. I hope to someday go back. And thank you for taking the time to share your talent you are to inspirational ❤
My late husband and I lived in Lakewood below Tacoma, Washington Years ago. I too fell in love with the area! My husband Eneo was building a Liquefaction plant for the Government in Ft Lewis. We lived there from April to November and experienced the often changing weather! We made good use of the time by visiting Mt Rainer often. The city of Seattle, the Islands in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the beautiful Olympic Peninsula, the salmon hatcheries all were close by and we enjoyed every one of them frequently! The memory of the beautiful Pacific Northwest stayed with me so long that when we were ready to retire my husband asked me where I wanted to go for my last trip? I was a Travel Agent and he traveled for his work so the whole world was open for me! I didn’t have to think long , I said Orcas Hotel on Orcas Island in the Strait Juan de Fuca. When we originally did the ferry trip I remember that one of the Islands a Nun with all her robes and beads opened the ferry gate! Just a few months ago I was reading a book by a Northwestern author and she mentioned the Nun opening the ferry gate! I am 93:year old now and have beautiful memories of trips all over the world but our Pacific Northwest is still at the top! L
Lived in ID for several years. Loved everything in PNW. Was surprised that I could go out in sweater in 0° (of course sunny, no wind). I've lived in OH and no way can u do that. What a nice place to become engaged. Have a safe journey and just smother ur life with all the love u give and receive.
I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting the Pacific Northwest, but would love to someday. I love your description of how the colorway was chosen to capture the spirit of Mt Rainer.
Beautiful Shawl 😍 I grew up in the Okanagan Valley of B.C. and have visited Vancouver and Vancouver Island several times. I am always in awe of the beauty that surrounds us. Lots of love and yarny hugs 💗 Good luck to everyone ❤
What beautiful colors, I love how the mountains are represented in the shawl. … we live in the West, but I’ve only been to the ocean one time, on our honeymoon. I love the majestic feeling of the mountains 🏔️there is nothing like it!!!
I've lived in the PNW most of my life and love it!! I live in Eastern Washington but have also lived in western Washington. My son's family is in Oregon & my daughter's family is in Idaho because we all love it! Your yarn colors reflect our PNW beauty so well❣
That is so pretty. I have visited. Back in 1994 a friend of mine moved back to Washington and as my Christmas present, flew me out there for a week to spend Christmas with her and her kids. She lived on Whidbey Island. We kept hoping for snow, at least a little but it was overcast and slightly rainy. The DAY I LEFT, it started snowing about an hour after I was flying back and they ended up with like 8 inches or more...typical, lol. Thanks another pretty pattern!
I'm an over the road truck driver. I knit and crochet in my down time. I've been all through the Pacific Northwest. I've driven through MT Shasta national Forest, I've taken some beautiful pictures of Mt Saint Helens as well as Mt Rainier. It's beautiful out there.
OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL and the yarn looks so luxurious ... I've never knitted ever ever, I've always wanted to learn. My eyes and fingers got crossed eyed watching this, but I will not be deterred. LOL Thank you for this video Chandi!!
I actually visited the Pacific Northwest in 2021. I flew to San Francisco from Georgia and we went to Muir National Park. It was BEAUTIFUL, almost magical. I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't think about Muir National Park. I'm from Chile so we have thousands and thousands of miles of the Pacific ocean. Love it!!!
Very pretty pattern and yarn combination. Many years ago, I visited my brother when he lived in Oregon. We took his boat down the Columbia River Gorge. The scenery was beautiful.
I went there on temporary duty with the Air Force over ten years ago - Washington state is gorgeous from what I saw! The air feels cleaner, and the nights were so chilly. It was amazing! I'd love to go back and hike the hills for fun.
I’ve recently visited Seattle with my family in late July. Mt Rainier was one of the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever visited. I couldn’t stop wandering the gorgeous scenery 🥹
Unfortunately I have never been to the Pacific Northwest but it looks so beautiful. The way you speak of it and what you’ve created from it too! (Beautiful) Thank you for sharing 🩷
When I was in British Columbia we drove to visit Seattle. What a gorgeous shawl pattern. I am going to try to figure out how to crochet a version of it. Have a great day Chandi 🎉
I’ve never seen a shawl constructed like that before. Very interesting, unique and beautiful. I have never visited the Pacific Northwest but Alaska is one of my favorite places to visit.
Lived in the Great NW for 25 years. Blessed to see the Mountain (Rainier) on a regular basis when clouds didn't cover. One of the most beautiful places on earth, and where I learned to knit.
I've visited only once, to Seattle. My sister in law lives there, and my brother and his family are not far. He loves the outdoors there! His first son had the middle name Rainier ❤️
I lived in WA when I was a teenager in the ‘80s. We did spend lots of time camping, backpacking and canoeing etc, but I doubt I really appreciated the grandness of those mountains. Ugh-teenagers! I’d love to go back now and really soak in the beauty of it.
My husband’s family lived in Seattle for a time. My first visit there, we traveled around and saw the beautiful mountains. Mr. Rainier really shows itself above the others in the range. I was grateful for a sunny day to see it, that first trip.
Well I live in Alaska and have a son living in Seattle so I do get down that way once in a while. Not as much as I would like. This shawl is a beautiful piece and Mt. Rainier is such a magnificent sight. This shawl really represents the mountain well. Thanks for the tutorial. ❤
Beautiful shawl and excellent color choice! I was born and raised in Washington state! ☺️ I loved hiking and camping near Mount Rainier and Mount Saint Helens in the summer.
Pacific North West is just a pipe dream for me from Australia!! But this shawl brings it a wee bit closer! I would love to knit with your beautiful yarns one day - they look so lush! Thanks for the opportunity!
I have never heard of a magic circle in knitting. Guess I just learned my something new for today 😊 I love this pattern. It's not the typical shawl pattern. I have not been to the Pacific Northwest. I do have friends who live in Washington, and they love it. Would like to go for a visit at some point.
I lived in Vancouver, BC, for 6 months in 2009. I never got to go to Mt. Rainier but I loved the city and being in Canada! I live in dry west Texas now and would love to go back to the area to visit. It’s beautiful there!
I would ❤love to see the pacific northwest!!! The Twilight books are set in that area so every girl that dreamed about Edward or Jacob has dreamed of going. Another beautiful pattern!! Thank you EFA!!!❤❤❤
I went to Washington State for the first time 2 years ago with my husband for an Alaskan Cruise. We loved it! Washington and Alaska are beautiful. Love your patterns, videos and yarns are all stunning!
I grew up with Mt Rainier as my view from my bedroom window. I now live on the other side of the bridge with Olympics as my view from my office. But Rainier has my heart. I actually have large photo of it in my bedroom. Driving across the Narrows Bridge at twilight when the mountain is out is one of my favorite things in the world. My Friday knitting group meets in Gig Harbor. We have a view of the sound and the mountain as we knit and chat. I have loads of Pearlescent Fingering in my stash so I don’t need to win the yarn. I love that I get to have fun deciding what to pull from my stash to make this and learn a new technique as well.
Love love love the mountains....any mountains.... sadly I haven't visited the pacific northwest YET! The spring will bring that to fruition. We live in frosty Quebec. We plan to travel West all the way to the coast spring coming, should be amazing to see. Beautiful pattern as always thank you for sharing!! 💖💝
I live in central California and traveled to the Pacific Northwest for my daughter for a soccer tournament. Beautiful part of the country. We hope to visit again one day.
Jane nailed it out of the park again! She never fails!!! Love this shawl and I'll have to make it and have it as an heirloom. I grew up in the Pacific NW. I've been to Mt Baker (north of Rainier) all the way down to Mt Adams. I survived Mt. St. Helen's eruption. The Olympic mountain range is just as stunning! 1 thing I love about this state, is when it's cloudy and cold on the west side of the Cascades, we pop over the mountains and it's nice and sunny!!! I recommend any nature lover to come and visit the Cascades and Olympics and the coast line. Then hop on a ferry to Victoria, B.C. Have a majestic day!!! Til next Friday or IG post!!!
Beautiful shawl and gorgeous yarn. I was introduced to the beautiful scenery through films. i love the Pacific North west and would love to visit and even stay. My kind of weather and so scenic.
I have visited the Pacific Northwest many times particularly Seattle, Tacoma and Blaine WA. Love the area. This is a beautiful shawl and I can't wait to cast it on. Pearlescent fingering is a beautiful yarn. I have made a number of tees with it and just love the drape and softness.
Chandi, That is another beautiful knit shawl. I have not done a center circle knitting pattern. You explained it so well. I will have try it. The colors of the yarn so amazing showing the details is very soothing. I will have to visit Washington State. Have a great day. 🧶🧶🤗
My parents lived in Port Angeles for some years, and I visited a couple of times. I went to Mount Saint Helen’s and hiked Hurricane Ridge. I also enjoyed visiting the temperate rain forest and other sites on the Olympic Peninsula! The Pacific Northwest is a very beautiful area!
The PNW is my home, born and raised! I live in Sandy Oregon, which is very close to Mt Hood! I love this Ranier shawl and will be adding it to my list of things to knit! ❤
oh my goodness. this is a beautiful pattern.. I live on the Sound (Kitsap Peninsula) and I see this beautiful mountain whenever she comes out. I've lived here almost 8 years, and am still always in awe that I actually live here. (most of my life was spent in South Jersey). This technique looks like a challenge for my fumble fingers... a challenge I need to take up soon because I definitely want to make this shawl :) thank you Chandi, I always learn something new. Still working on a different shawl.. thanks to you, I finally learned to knit using the continental style, but I'm slooooooow!
Thank you for this beautiful pattern! I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. When the Seattle rain clouds lift I am blessed with an amazing view of Mount Rainier. In addition to living in its shadow, Mount Rainier holds many happy memories of camping with family and friends. Such a beautiful pattern for an awe inspiring mountain!
I've been to Seattle, Eugene, and Portland for conferences, but never got out of the cities. We did catch a glimpse of Rainier from the Space Needle. In Oregon, Mt. Hood is closer to Portland than Rainier is to Seattle, so we got good views of that. All of those cities were great places to visit even though we weren't able to visit the natural areas beyond the urban environment.
My husband and I visited Crater Lake in Oregon and then drove to the coast. So beautiful! From there we drove down the coast to the Redwood Forest before crossing over to meet family in central Cali. It was an amazing trip and somewhere I'd love to go again! Maybe we'll make it up to Washington next time around.
I have never visited the Pacific Northwest, however, my niece & one of my cousins both live in Washington State & I hope to visit one of them some day in the near future before going on to Alaska for my husband’s dream trip. This is a beautiful shawl as are your inspiring words!!!
I highly recommend it, as it's a breathtaking, calming place (as long as you're not on I-5 or 405 during rush hour) with giant cedars, pines, fir, maples. rivers and waterfalls everywhere. I suggest decide whether to start north from Mr. Baker and head south, or start on Mt. Adams and head north. Then take a ferry to the Olympic Peninsula and Long Beach! Have fun!!!
No way! I just moved to Seattle last month! I can see Mt Rainer from my window when its not too cloudy, its amazing. I still have so much left to see and this shawl pattern is very inspiring!
So lovely! What a great tribute to Ranier. I am lucky enough to live in the PNW, and I am able to see her majesty daily. 😜 If the weather cooperates. It is Washington.🌧
I have never visited the USA but the images you shared look beautiful and it really looks worthy of a visit, thanks for the pattern, it looks equally beautiful ❤
Stunning shawl! 😍 I have yet to visit Mt. Rainer but have enjoyed visit all the surrounding states with Oregon being a special place! Have a blessed day!
I was born in Seattle and like a previous commentor grew up saying, "the mountain is out." Today it blended into the clouds and was only partially visible but the effect was lovely.
What a lovely interpretation of Mt Rainier! I sometimes take for granted how magnificent and magical it is. Thank you Chandee and team for generously offering lovely patterns all year round ❤
My husband is a truck driver, several times a year he drives by Mt Rainier. He says it's his mountain! 😂 Sunshine, rain, fog, or snow. He sends me pictures, it's a beautiful site! ❤❤❤
I love that 💙
No I was never to the US. But lived on Bali and Indonesia with many active volcanos. Now im in Switzerland . In 4h I'm in Italy with Etna etc also active volcanos. Thanks for this pattern and your uplifting words.
I was born in Seattle and my mother's family is all still living in towns around there. My mom and her 9 brother and sisters all grew up saying "The mountain is out!" whenever Mt. Rainier wasn't covered in clouds. It's a mountain with such a beautiful, large presence.
What my Rainier is “The Mountain “ to us. It greats us every day with its moods! So nice to have your beautiful pattern named after it!
This is a beautiful pattern. as always. I have been to the Pacific northwest. It is a beautiful area. My husband and I love visiting there. There is always something new to see every time we go.

I live in Oregon. I feel blessed to be surrounded by all this beauty.
My last vacation was in 1997, and I went to Washington state and visited the Mt. Rainier area. It was truly lovely as is this shawl.
This shawl looks insane. I'm super intimidated omg.
You can do it! 💜
Beautiful Shawl 😍 I grew up in the Okanagan Valley of B.C. and have visited Vancouver and Vancouver Island several times. I am always in awe of the beauty that surrounds us. Lots of love and yarny hugs 💗 Good luck to everyone ❤

Lived in the Great NW for 25 years. Blessed to see the Mountain (Rainier) on a regular basis when clouds didn't cover. One of the most beautiful places on earth, and where I learned to knit.
I live in BC and I love it here, on clear days we can see Mount Baker and it's lovely. I spent 5 years out east and I am happy that I came back.
I used to live in Montana. It was the most beautiful place for me. Woods and mountains everywhere. I want to move back someday
I have never been to the Pacific Northwest. It looks beautiful in the pictures I’ve seen. ❤ Thank you for the beautiful shawl pattern.

I lived in Vancouver, BC, for 6 months in 2009. I never got to go to Mt. Rainier but I loved the city and being in Canada! I live in dry west Texas now and would love to go back to the area to visit. It’s beautiful there!
I would ❤love to see the pacific northwest!!! The Twilight books are set in that area so every girl that dreamed about Edward or Jacob has dreamed of going. Another beautiful pattern!! Thank you EFA!!!❤❤❤
I've never been to the Pacific Northwest, but visiting there is on my bucket list.

I went to Washington State for the first time 2 years ago with my husband for an Alaskan Cruise. We loved it! Washington and Alaska are beautiful. Love your patterns, videos and yarns are all stunning!

I actually have large photo of it in my bedroom. Driving across the Narrows Bridge at twilight when the mountain is out is one of my favorite things in the world.
My Friday knitting group meets in Gig Harbor. We have a view of the sound and the mountain as we knit and chat. I have loads of Pearlescent Fingering in my stash so I don’t need to win the yarn. I love that I get to have fun deciding what to pull from my stash to make this and learn a new technique as well.
How fabulous 💙
Love love love the mountains....any mountains.... sadly I haven't visited the pacific northwest YET! The spring will bring that to fruition. We live in frosty Quebec. We plan to travel West all the way to the coast spring coming, should be amazing to see. Beautiful pattern as always thank you for sharing!! 💖💝
I live in central California and traveled to the Pacific Northwest for my daughter for a soccer tournament. Beautiful part of the country. We hope to visit again one day.
What a lovely shawl made with gorgeous yarn. I’ve never been in that area. Some day, hopefully.
I have traveled the east coast but never the Pacific coast. This shawl is beautiful. I need to learn to knit faster!
Jane nailed it out of the park again! She never fails!!! Love this shawl and I'll have to make it and have it as an heirloom. I grew up in the Pacific NW. I've been to Mt Baker (north of Rainier) all the way down to Mt Adams. I survived Mt. St. Helen's eruption. The Olympic mountain range is just as stunning! 1 thing I love about this state, is when it's cloudy and cold on the west side of the Cascades, we pop over the mountains and it's nice and sunny!!!
I recommend any nature lover to come and visit the Cascades and Olympics and the coast line. Then hop on a ferry to Victoria, B.C. Have a majestic day!!! Til next Friday or IG post!!!
That sounds like a fantastic trip. Thanks for the recommendation. 💙
I have not visited the Pacific Northwest.
This is a beautiful shawl pattern in gorgeous yarn. Thank you!!
Beautiful shawl and gorgeous yarn. I was introduced to the beautiful scenery through films. i love the Pacific North west and would love to visit and even stay. My kind of weather and so scenic.
I have visited the Pacific Northwest many times particularly Seattle, Tacoma and Blaine WA. Love the area. This is a beautiful shawl and I can't wait to cast it on. Pearlescent fingering is a beautiful yarn. I have made a number of tees with it and just love the drape and softness.
I've never had the opportunity to visit the Pacific Northwest but it looks beautiful!!
The shawl is lovely. ❤
Chandi, That is another beautiful knit shawl. I have not done a center circle knitting pattern. You explained it so well. I will have try it. The colors of the yarn so amazing showing the details is very soothing. I will have to visit Washington State. Have a great day. 🧶🧶🤗
My parents lived in Port Angeles for some years, and I visited a couple of times. I went to Mount Saint Helen’s and hiked Hurricane Ridge. I also enjoyed visiting the temperate rain forest and other sites on the Olympic Peninsula! The Pacific Northwest is a very beautiful area!
Such a beautiful shawl, thanks to Chandi and Jane. I've never been to the Pacific Northwest, but would love to someday.
The PNW is my home, born and raised! I live in Sandy Oregon, which is very close to Mt Hood! I love this Ranier shawl and will be adding it to my list of things to knit! ❤
oh my goodness. this is a beautiful pattern.. I live on the Sound (Kitsap Peninsula) and I see this beautiful mountain whenever she comes out. I've lived here almost 8 years, and am still always in awe that I actually live here. (most of my life was spent in South Jersey). This technique looks like a challenge for my fumble fingers... a challenge I need to take up soon because I definitely want to make this shawl :) thank you Chandi, I always learn something new. Still working on a different shawl.. thanks to you, I finally learned to knit using the continental style, but I'm slooooooow!
The pattern is beautiful and the yarn fits it perfectly. The pacific northwest is wonderful and beautiful, I'm actually from there, born and raised.
Thank you for this beautiful pattern! I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. When the Seattle rain clouds lift I am blessed with an amazing view of Mount Rainier. In addition to living in its shadow, Mount Rainier holds many happy memories of camping with family and friends. Such a beautiful pattern for an awe inspiring mountain!
I've been to Seattle, Eugene, and Portland for conferences, but never got out of the cities. We did catch a glimpse of Rainier from the Space Needle. In Oregon, Mt. Hood is closer to Portland than Rainier is to Seattle, so we got good views of that. All of those cities were great places to visit even though we weren't able to visit the natural areas beyond the urban environment.
I like this design. It looks complicated, but isn’t too much.
I live in this gorgeous PNW! Thank you for the free pattern.
You are so welcome! 🩵
I live in California, and I've driven up to Oregon and Washington several times! It's so beautiful and green! ❤️
I have never visited that area, but served in California for awhile. Love the mountains, though. Beautiful shawl pattern!. FRIYAY!
I've been lucky enough to visit Oregon as well as Seattle. So beautiful!!
My husband and I visited Crater Lake in Oregon and then drove to the coast. So beautiful! From there we drove down the coast to the Redwood Forest before crossing over to meet family in central Cali. It was an amazing trip and somewhere I'd love to go again! Maybe we'll make it up to Washington next time around.
Aww, that's so cool and Crater Lake is stunning! 💙
I have never visited the Pacific Northwest, however, my niece & one of my cousins both live in Washington State & I hope to visit one of them some day in the near future before going on to Alaska for my husband’s dream trip. This is a beautiful shawl as are your inspiring words!!!
Lovely shawl! I have not visited the Pacific Northwest yet, but hope to someday. Thanks you so much for the pattern. You’re always so inspiring!
I highly recommend it, as it's a breathtaking, calming place (as long as you're not on I-5 or 405 during rush hour) with giant cedars, pines, fir, maples. rivers and waterfalls everywhere. I suggest decide whether to start north from Mr. Baker and head south, or start on Mt. Adams and head north. Then take a ferry to the Olympic Peninsula and Long Beach! Have fun!!!
No way! I just moved to Seattle last month! I can see Mt Rainer from my window when its not too cloudy, its amazing. I still have so much left to see and this shawl pattern is very inspiring!
Oh wow! 🩵
So lovely! What a great tribute to Ranier. I am lucky enough to live in the PNW, and I am able to see her majesty daily. 😜 If the weather cooperates. It is Washington.🌧
I have never visited the USA but the images you shared look beautiful and it really looks worthy of a visit, thanks for the pattern, it looks equally beautiful ❤
I have not visited the Pacific Northwest but think it too much like Western NC to be exciting to me. Love the shawl!!!
Stunning shawl! 😍 I have yet to visit Mt. Rainer but have enjoyed visit all the surrounding states with Oregon being a special place! Have a blessed day!
I was born in Seattle and like a previous commentor grew up saying, "the mountain is out." Today it blended into the clouds and was only partially visible but the effect was lovely.
Yes I have been to see the Mt Rainier! It is beautiful and changes color with the sun shifting!
💙💙💙
HI, I am looking forward to knitting this patter. Beautiful, like always. Love you!
I live in the PNW and I agree... it's magical, as is this shawl. Can't wait to make it.
I know basic knitting and my passion is crochet. This looks really complicated. 😮 The shawl is really beautiful-especially love the colors.
I love this! I was born in Washington St. I really miss seeing the Evergreens/ Mountains, and rugged landscapes. The set of yarn is So Perfect
I hope to visit the Pacific Northwest some day and look forward to knitting this beautiful shawl/wrap.
I have never been to America let alone pacific north west. Those pictures look stunning. maybe when times are better one day.
I live in Idaho and we used to visit Washington and Oregon regularly. I love the area, too.
What a lovely interpretation of Mt Rainier! I sometimes take for granted how magnificent and magical it is.
Thank you Chandee and team for generously offering lovely patterns all year round ❤
