The wind is in the dunes, and the grasses are whispering. The gentle breeze is just enough, and the invitation is irresistible. Time for a walk along the sandy knoll. You keep carefully to the paths, thinking of the birds in the sandbanks, the great plumes of beachgrass, and the countless hardy little plants and creatures who have found their home in these windswept hills. The ebb and flow of the landscape echoing the waves of the sea, the soothing sounds, and the soft, crisp, clean air almost seem to breathe for you. There is no better place to just be.

In The Dunes is a light and airy asymmetrical rectangle with flowing stripes of lace, the perfect wrap for a breezy afternoon or evening. The lace stitches look delicate and detailed but are actually intuitive and relaxed. The sample was knit using a lovely light fingering weight yarn, but it would be equally lovely in a standard four-ply or sock yarn and absolutely ethereal in laceweight. The gauge is not important, as long as you love the fabric and have enough yarn. A lovely knit to savour in quiet moments.
