I stumbled across a definition for Alchemy that I completely fell in love with and defines A Dash of Alchemy perfectly.

“A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.”

How perfect is that?! When knitting this shawl, it completely applies to each step of the process. We TRANSFORM our beautiful hanks of yarn into stitches. Those stitches CREATE a lovely shawl, and those beautiful yarns are COMBINED using intarsia. A Dash of Alchemy emerged from this brilliant concept of Alchemy. ♥

Worked flat, A Dash of Alchemy contains written directions and charts. A handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your rows and stitch counts. Yardage for each section is given should you wish to turn this into a scrappy project!
