Enter the forest in the color of your choice, part the veil into the Fae and come with me. Fairy forest, fairy rings and smoke rings, what could be more beautiful.

Fairies are often associated with plants and springtime, depicted as pure figures who possess magical powers. In the tales of fairies, they are more often than not mischievous creatures with dark and evil intentions. The Latin root word for fairy is ‘fay’ meaning fate.

The MKAL will run in September 2023 and it’s small enough that you wont overheat while knitting. Then too, you will be done in time to wear for the crisp fall nights.
