~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Named for the ancient Roman ruin, a place that evokes majesty, grace and dignity, Forum is a shawl for the experienced lace knitter, worked from the bottom up in three distinct sections. Beads are incorporated throughout the shawl and knitted in as you go. Not for the faint of heart, Forum is completely charted, with minimal written directions.
