Inspired by roses and the everyday joy they bring: surprising us with early buds in spring just when we thought a little bush might not come back after a long winter, delighting us with delicate petals in every colour throughout summer, hanging on in autumn with exquisite late blooms! And in some places, though not here in Canada, even flowering in winter against all odds! I hope this shawl brings you moments of simple joy too, as you create it, and then wear it, whatever the season might be.
