Pattern Description: Using a natural two-ply silk, I wanted to emphasize how lustrous silk is as a natural fiber. We knit for many reasons. My daughter, Robin, is getting married and I designed and knitted this shawl for her to wear on this happiest of days. The coast of Maine in summer can bring a variety of circumstances, so this elegant shawl can measure up to natural surroundings during the evening festivities.“ p. 48
