One of my fondest childhood memories is walking the beaches of Florida at sunset: the white, white sand, the blue-green water, and the sky fading from brilliant blue to the pinks and purples of dusk. As the waves washed over the beach, you could find all sorts of treasures: iridescent shells, round sand dollars, beach glass.

This reversible shawl is reminiscent of my days as a beach comber. One side shows the tide coming in; when the treasures under the water are first revealed. If you were quick, you could pick one up before the tide went out. The other side shows the tide going out. The treasures are in plain sight and ready to be picked up and enjoyed.

This is a triangular shawlette with a garter stitch border that is knit from center back to the bottom edge. It is a reversible shawl that can be worn with either side facing out. Yarn overs at each end and along the center stitch are used to form the triangle.
