Catching Fireflies Shawl
This shawl is all about camping visits to the lake with family and friends. As the evening falls it’s blissful to watch the sun go down, the stars come out, and the fireflies come out to play and to court (and maybe we will even catch a few to admire for a minute). This beautiful shawl features easy mosaic stitch, simple lace, and is perfect to wear on your weekend adventures where ever they may take you!
