“The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world.”
-Anne Rice

Sometimes the simplest construction can create the most interesting designs. The Will O’ the Wisp shrug is worked as a mohair rectangle with an easy lace design folded in half to create “sleeves.” A ribbed border is then picked up and knit using mohair and MCN fingering weight yarns held together. The resulting ribbed fabric is soft, cozy, and a delight to wear. Will O’ the Wisp is the perfect go-to for cool winter evenings and air-conditioning. Throw it on over jeans and a tank for a casual look, with an adorable summer dress for a leisurely stroll, or to complete your look for prom.
