Wisteria Garden Shawl

Earlier this summer, I was tasked (by myself!) with designing the shawl project for the June Year of Lace. If you remember my early summer, it was kind of… well… stressful. This project, rather than making things worse, actually kept me sane.

It was great to just focus on a short-term deadline, and the yarn as it passed between my fingers and the needles. It was great to design. To plan. To chart. And then to see it become something beautiful and tangible.

The yarn is a seasilk from Zen Yarn Garden – one of my favourite Canadian hand-dyers. It’s got a soft hand, and a lovely luster, and it made for happy knitting.

For now, the pattern is only available to current Year of Lace subscribers.

   Yay, for sanity projects! It looks lovely and I can understand how yarn makes things better. How is the running going?
