Saraya is a half-pi shawl construction. The distinct sections allow you to explore different textures; beginning with nupps on a stockinette background, then moving to a wider section of fluttery shadow cables. The highlight of the shawl is a deep panel of juicy cables with a dash of garter lace for a final flourish. While some attention is needed to work the action rows, there are plenty of relief rows to please any intermediate knitter.
