For us Deep South-ers, a decent beach is always just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Our lovely little shawlette is meant to evoke these beaches, and the sea grasses that dot the shore, protecting fragile shoreline ecosystems but also looking just beautiful. You start with a spiraling, almost nautilus-like, stockinette tip, then work in stripes (like waves in the sand), and then end with a fabulous stranded colorwork section that also features slipped stitches worked up from rows below. What Southern knitter could ask for more?
