THIS WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN MEG AND I TO MAKE A SHAWL THAT CAPTURED THE MOVEMENT OF A RIVER, THE STONES, THE MOSS, AND THE LITTLE HOLES YOU MAKE WHEN YOU CUP YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR FACE TO SEE WHAT’S IN THE WATER BELOW YOU. THE CATHERINE WHEELS LOOK LIKE FLIES FROM FLY FISHING; LIKE THE ONES CAUGHT ON STONES OR TANGLED IN THE TREE BRANCHES. SIMPLE AND REPETITIVE STITCHES TO MATCH SLOW AND EASY DAYS ON THE RIVER.

This pattern has simple stitch repeats with eyelet accents. The color changes are started with a “fade.” It can be made with one, two or three colors, but you will need the same number of skeins for the whole project.
