My Mix & Master Shawl embodies peaceful creativity at sunrise and the elegant drape of a merino, cashmere, silk, and mohair fiber blend. The design is a rectangular knit shawl inspired by the geometric visuals seen when mixing with levels (think music engineering), the joy/goosebumps one gets listening to a beautiful song, the adventure of choosing your perfect palette, and conquering an intarsia colorwork project. The endless high contrast color combinations you can choose will make beautifully crisp lines to define these geometric color blocks. It’s the perfect project for transitional seasons, evenings with a chill in the air, or a breezy shoreside walk!
