As spring turns to summer, gardens begin to grow. Herb gardens are especially beautiful with their variety of leaf shapes, shades of green, and delicious smells. The lovely lace border of the Herb Garden Shawl depicts the buds, leaves, and beautiful variety of a herb garden, especially in this beautiful green. The shawl is knitted in one piece from end to end with lace, nupps/bobbles, and a garter stitch body. It’s a beautiful project to work on while sitting in a sunny garden.
