Lace and Cables unite!

The Wilderness Shawl was inspired by the change from winter to spring. Melting puddles changing to green grass, and flowers sprouting from under the snow. Lara wanted to knit a shawl from worsted weight yarn that would be beautiful to wear, and had both lace and cables. We love the look of lace and cables combined. She also wanted to knit a shawl that is unique and has different stitches put together in a very interesting way.
