Lunar Embrace is about slowing down…turning in…connecting with the moon and it’s pull on our earth and our bodies. I envision this project as a calendar. As you knit, you mark the phases of the moon in sync with the moon itself. Maybe you only work on this during the full moon or maybe only during the new moon. Every 12 rows, you will complete 2 months of lunar phases. In every year, there are 13 lunar months. In this wrap, you will complete 80 lunar cycles which is a little over 6 years.
