C. Cardissa shawlette

So much of my inspiration comes from creatures in the ocean. Their unique shapes, colours, and textures never cease to enchant me. C. cardissa, commonly known as the heart cockle, sparked me to design an heart shaped shawl. C.cardissa is a bivalve mollusc that lives mainly under algae and sand in reef flats exposed to the sun. It can be variegated in colour and has a fluted edge. This shawl is good for variegated or solid colour yarns…a nice way to clear up some of your stash, while completing an easy breezy knit on the beach…with a bit of lace trim. And, if you have additional yarn you can add a ruffled edge.
