Briskness in the air and geese journeying south are the inspiration for my latest trilogy of designs. The geometric design invites you to explore a wonderful array of color combinations. Individualize your shawl by making each goose with the same color, shades of the same color, or choose a different color for each. No matter what combination you choose, it is certain to be a stunning design.
