Two Roads is a Zen Butterfly Knits shawl.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

What if a knit design offered you two roads to knit by? Which path would you choose? One colour or two? Beads or no beads? Smaller kerchief sized or larger shawl sized?

Two Roads is inspired by Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and features Zen Yarn Garden’s stunning Serenity Silk Single yarn. Each step offers choices to make your shawl one of a kind and that makes all the difference in creating an accessory you will love to knit and really enjoy wearing!
