This shawl captures my vision of the colors on the mountainsides surrounding my home in the North- east Kingdom of Vermont. The light green frame represents that pale baby leaves that break forth and give us our primary vision of spring, the freshness of green, new sprouts, lighter and more delicate than the colors and textures of summer. The center of the shawl is the reality of spring, a pale rainbow of soft hues reminding me that life and joy are still to be found.
Spring’s First Blush Knitting Pattern
$5.99
These mittens are worked from the cuff up with a decorative Bulgarian cast on, Baltic Braids, and colorwork on the cuff, and an easy two-color pattern on the hand. A few purls add texture and interest to the knitting. The thumb opening is made by knitting with scrap yarn which is removed later to form a hole where the thumb is added. The finger tips are rounded so the mittens are not different for the right and left hands.
