The Shooting Stars shawl continues my appreciation of the night sky, this time the rare sight of a meteor shower.

Knit in Whistlebare’s Yeavering Bell, chosen for the ethereal glow of the Wensleydale and mohair, the stripes of silver lace represent to meteors shooting across the purple night sky.

Featuring a simple lace repeat on a stocking stitch background, this elegant shawl is ideal for those wanting to experiment with colour.
