I drove on the back roads of Southeastern Michigan for 16 years to and from work. I visited farms across the North America and amazingly enough in Boliva. I came to adore rolling farm fields. The cycle of farmland life, freshly sown to harvest. This knitted Embrace will take you on a journey from the farmhouse door, down the road past the winter wheat standing tall, along the freshly plowed and planted fields.

This shawl Embrace is meant to tell you a story as you knit as you imagine the farm you are knitting up. I encourage you to use whatever type of fiber you have at hand in what ever color that will tell the story.
