For me, creativity is a fluid thing. It ebbs and flows and though it can be hard to stay positive during the low points, I’ve learnt over the years that it’s important to be patient. I lean into the quiet times and prepare myself to ride the waves of creativity as they come. This shawl design came out of one such wave. After a long winter I finally felt my creative juices start to flow and quickly grabbed my favourite palette of colours - colours that always inspire me - and just started knitting. I cast on for this shawl with no plan other than to use a different stitch pattern for each colour. I rode the wave of inspiration from start to finish and am delighted with the results!
