As much as I like the peace and tranquility that winter brings, everything is white and after a while I start dreaming of color. Looking forward to those days when the snow starts to melt and we can start seeing the first signs of spring. This shawl was inspired mostly by the colors of the yarn and the hope for a colorful future.
