“Even the wind and the waves obey Him.” Matthew 8:27

Inspired by the beauty of Lake Superior in Winter, Icy Shores attempts to capture different aspects of the lake, ice, and shoreline in stitch patterns that can be found in knitted lace. As the mighty waves roll in, various patterns represent the water and ice as they are whirling and swirling their way toward the shore and find themselves shoved into ice stacks. Please bundle up warm and join me for this ever changing view.

There are both scarf and shawl instructions included with beads, nupps, or contrasting nupps.
