Originally worked as a KAL now available in kits from our kit page in any color, originals or ask for your favorite.
Taken from the thoughts of mist and dew drops glistening early in the morning on a spiders web. No, there will be no spiders here.
What you will find are the Fae and their companions, Sprits, Pixies and all manner of woodland creatures.
Think of…
Pixie Dust and rainbows,
Butterflies, daisies and buttercups.
Leaves which have been put to good use as mugs.
Sticks left propped up around a fairy circle, to rest while watching others caper and dance.
Look closely at your shawl and you might find that fairy circle, a maze with a reward at it’s center. Or is that a rose? Can you find the Goblet of the Fae? In it you will see one last drop of Eternal Life the potion the Fae have made all these years for everlasting youth to last throughout all eternity. Perhaps you will find the very heart of the Fae. I know what I see, I wonder what will you see?

This half circle shawl is knit from the top down. Crystals and rainbow glass beads make the silk shimmer even more. Can you see the Fae? They are just there at the points, taming the Pixies and Sprites which are riddled throughout.
