Pay What Works: In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

Lavender is one of my favorite flowers. Used extensively in aromatherapy, this flower aids in sleep and relaxation, making it a popular scent in massage parlors and essential oils. The Lavender Fields in Southern France (where my father is from) are a popular tourist attraction that brings happiness, serenity, awe and splendor to those who visit.

The Fields of Lavender set was made in collaboration with Gregoria Fibers; the yarn being a major source of inspiration behind the design. Anna, the magic-maker behind this yarn, infuses essential oils into the yarn when it is being washed, so the final skeins carry a calming scent, one that immediately made me think of Lavender Fields, along with the deep rich purple of her Dogwood color-way. Upon further research on this flower, I found myself drawn to its symbolism of grace, elegance and femininity, which helped determine the look and feel for this collection.

The Fields of Lavender Shawl combines many of my favorite elements in shawl knitting:

• top-down triangular shaping
• an easy to memorize lace stitch pattern
• pops of contrasting color
• squishy garter stitch
• graceful wave edging finished off with a fun picot BO

Immerse yourself in the experience by letting your soul wander through the Lavender Fields in Provence as you knit up this delightful pattern.
