Flying At Night is so named because it reminds me of how beautiful the Earth looks at night while flying. Blinking lights show up in grid patterns and are sometimes bright little sparks and sometimes partially occluded by clouds.

This is an elongated triangular Tunisian crochet shawl with beads worked flat and suitable for intermediate crocheters. It’s a visual treat, and an adventurous journey into beads and textures. You will not get bored making it, and you will enjoy wearing it in different ways to show off your new piece of art when you’re finished!
