Anyone living in Oregon knows that spring is unpredictable. Clouds and sun are in constant competition throughout any given day. The sky can darken to the deepest grey, almost black, followed by a shower of hail that blankets the ground, and then suddenly the sun bursts through, as if to say “I don’t think so”! The air warms quickly and the sun creates an almost neon glow reflecting from the rain on the acid green new foliage of all the trees and shrubs, while the flowers in bloom bask radiantly in the brilliance. This is short-lived, however, as the clouds obscure the sun once again, making those fleeting moments even more precious. This particular color of Silk Garden reminds me of those spring days in my garden in Dexter, Oregon, where I love to spend my time. The Flying Chevron lace reminds me of the mass migration of thousands of geese in flight that can often be seen in Oregon during the spring.

Measuring 12.5” wide by 82.5” long when fringed, and 64.5” before adding the fringe, this wrap knits up rather quickly on #9 needles. You can easily increase the width by adding another pattern repeat with additional yarn. There is a chart for the lace, or follow the written instructions. The fringe is crocheted using only single crochets and chains.
