Drape yourself in a lovely spring carpet of primroses floating in a field of greenery. I designed this sweet lacy shawl with a silk and wool blend for great stitch definition and excellent drape. The join-as-you-go construction leads to quick results, without sewing, and an ambiguous boundary between one motif and the next.
