In the garden is where you toil, dig, and sweat. You carefully plant your seedlings, water, weed, and watch them grow. In the springtime, you finally begin to see the fruits of your labor as the flowers start to bloom. You sit back, enjoy your cup of tea, and find yourself in awe.

That feeling of accomplishment is what you will experience with this Garden. Each section requires new effort, and the knitted-on border will grow your patience as you work through each row diligently. In the end, your flower will bloom and you will have a beautifully textured crescent shawl that will keep you warm and turn the heads of others as you show off your masterpiece.
