I am really excited about this new design because it describes my style best. I love mixing up different traditional styles and creating something new. MeshUp Shawl is a play on words and named after mashup style/music and the basic mesh design. The main section of this crescent shaped shawl is a mesh pattern stitch. The color work is a brand new, unique and not seen style of a combination of fair isle and lace work. The shawl is finished up with a knitted on lace border. Once blocked will create a beautiful light shawl perfect for Spring, Summer, and all the way through Fall.
