with the fresh breath of spring often comes the inescapable itch to clean and shake off the cobwebs of winter. windows are opened, surfaces dusted, and stashes are side-eyed as the change of seasons brings forth new colour crushes. this shawl is a perfect stash-buster or stash enhancer, using three full skeins of fingering weight yarn to create a generous, easy-going shawl. garter stripes are interrupted with lace wedges and finished off with a mirroring lace border. it’s the perfect design for gearing up for warmer weather and longer days.
