menaide: a small scale driftnet historically used by the Italian artisanal fisheries to catch anchovy, sardines and blue-fish in general, with a low impact on the environment.

back to mesh, a recurring passion in my knitting life, for a cool and crisp linen shawl, wide, ethereal and voluminous at the same time.

pure shape, faggot stitch with just with a minimum treatment at the sides for bare edges conceived for the heavy blocking required.

a quick and pleasant summer knit that might prove just as interesting with other yarns: experiment!
