The Inner Beauty Shawl is creativity and texture at its best, mixing the inner beauty and randomness of stranded colorwork with a bubble stitch pattern. This project is a great stash buster project as you can use random yarns for the contrast colors, changing as needed throughout. You can fade the colors or make a multicolored mix for whatever your heart desires.
