In Finland the summer is full of overwhelming green, the nature is full of berries and, later on, mushrooms. In the gardens, currants and other berries mature first and in autumn the apples.
In Italy the summer turns burnt yellow at the beginning of June and in the wilds it’s difficult to find anything edible from late June on.
One of the rare things that mature in July are the blackberries. They bloom with pale pink flowers from May to June and, if at least some rain arrives, the berries start to grow in late June. First red, the berries turn to almost black when they mature.

Fior di mora is a triangular shawl with continuous color changes. Knitting begins at the top tip. When the intended width has been reached, the remainder of the shawl is shaped with decreases.
The sample uses a set of six 50 g skeins, but the pattern works well from 3 to as many colors as you wish!
