Two ripple lace patterns and two complementary colorways of yarn work off and with each other in this rectangular wrap in a way that reminds me of the little fish that dart in and out of the sunlight in the Shenandoah River near my home. Luxilus is a genus of fish that includes the common shiner.

The DK-weight yarn used for this shawl means the knitting goes fast and the finished product has a pleasing weight around the shoulders, while retaining some interesting stitch definition and lightness overall.
