Mountain Laurel bloom and grow
on branches near the water low
and waterlily pink in bloom,
I see in ponds I pass in June!

Errata: Revisions to Border chart are in the works.
Rows 5 and 7 should have 10 sts before and after the repeat; and row 7 has 3 sts inside the repeat (as opposed to the 4 sts shown in V072016)
Updated pattern will be available soon

Kalmia and Nymphea are ‘Sister Shawls’. Add both to your cart and save $6, getting both for $8! Both shawls start out the same, but Kalmia and Nymphea have completely different borders, and Nymphea is larger overall.

This top down shawl is named after the local state flower, Mountain Laurel (or Kalmia Latifolia) that grows in abundance in higher elevation in wetter areas. The sun-drenched scent that reminds me of kayak paddles on peaceful lakes.
