Many years ago I came across a website of yarn. Gorgeous, soft, bold, and ultimately very tempting colours. It was that of Artist’s Palette Yarns. Over the years of torturing my bank balance Juliet’s yarns filled the majority of my stash. After six years since I became addicted, I was brave enough to use the most precious of those skeins to design this.

Juliet’s shawl is a crescent like shawl using both lace and beads! Starting at the top centre and increasing on every row, the shape quickly grows in width. The main body works up fast and the beads are added on at the border and edge.
