I love traveling. It fuels my heart and it fills me up with creative ideas and inspiration. I often think that if I wasn’t able to travel, I’d lose my drive, my will to create.
I often travel with my family or friends, but sometimes I fly solo. It is good to be in peace with one’s heart.
This shawl was designed for a single skein of yarn, traveling solo towards the destination to become something else… perhaps your next travel companion?
The construction of this crescent shaped shawl is really easy: it is worked flat from the top down, with increases at the beginning and at the end of each RS row.
