Meet Me on Main was designed for the Kansas City Yarn Crawl and Unwind Fiber Arts in downtown Lee’s Summit, Missouri—a place where Main Street, the railroad, and generations of travelers have all helped shape the rhythm of the city. People follow their own routes from shop to shop, meeting old and new friends along the way, discovering new yarns, and eventually finding themselves gathered together in the same places.
Meet Me on Main is a nod to that idea: the invitation to meet somewhere familiar, cross paths, and spend a little time together.
That sense of movement carries into the shawl itself. Worked as a generously sized asymmetrical triangle, crossed stitches travel through rows of double crochet, creating lines that meet, overlap, and continue in a new direction. Sport- and lace-weight yarns are held together throughout, bringing two distinct strands onto the same path to create one fabric.
The result is a shawl built around connection—between yarns, stitches, routes, and people.
So if you’re headed through Lee’s Summit, following the crawl, or simply looking for the next place to gather: Meet me on Main.
Why You’ll Love It
- Generously sized and easy to wear: The asymmetrical triangle shape gives you plenty of fabric to wrap, drape, and style without feeling bulky.
- Simple stitches with just enough interest: Double crochet keeps the shawl moving, while crossed stitches add texture and visual movement throughout.
