Feliz
Feliz (pronounced feh-leez): happy. This design is born of the settings, colors, movements and sounds of festive celebrations (fiestas) in northern New Mexico, my home. For me, a sociable introvert, I am inspired by the spirit of smaller more intimate gatherings, surrounded by friends, family, song, dancing, shared memory, flavors as familiar as my own name and the resounding contentment of being with loved ones. This shawl, within its fine details, carries echoes of those experiences, the vibrant atmosphere, and celebration of the living spirit of togetherness. This makes me completely happy.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
Feliz is worked in two major sections. The first builds the main triangle body that is adorned with a very simple cable motif. The second section begins with picked up sts and will introduce textured color stripes that will give the bottom left edge a festive colorscape. The striped section utilizes rolling welts to give the colors greater dimensional depth. Finally, the shawl is finished with a unique ribbed ruffle that echoes the beautiful flowing and abundant skirts of baile folklórico dresses.
