Golden Summer Breeze
Inspired by the middle of the year and the transition into and out of the
summer season, these two distinctly different styles of shawl capture my
favourite times of year. From the sweet frothy blossoms bursting out
in spring to the last rays of golden light from the setting sun in the
autumn, a few changes to the design create a look as difference as the two
book ends of summer.
Both shawls are a trapezium shape, with an open lace design in the centre.
The main part of the shawl features an open lace design worked in rows
from the bottom up, then a choice of borders are added by working in the
round.
