Early morning in your garden, the dew feels cold and wet on your bare feet and the morning glories are unfurling their flower buds, as the first rays of sunlight wake them up. Winding vines, sparkling dew drops on the leaves and delicate flowers soaking up the sun’s warmth!

This crescent shaped shawl with optional beading is worked top down with lace panels like vines winding their way through the stockinette body. Towards the edge everything is in full bloom!
