In the Forest

The forest is somewhere I go to get away from the world. I love the quiet and calm that comes over me when I enter the cool, dark woods. Being in nature can restore our energy, mood and ease our stress and worry. Knitting can also bring this same feeling.

’In the Forest’ is a top down 1 skein triangular shawlette that reflects the fabric of nature in alternating sections of texture and lace. The simple cable worked throughout the piece that you take as you wander through the trees. The mesh represents the light that dapples between the leaves; the solid sections are like the sturdiness of the trees, steadfast and resilient. Even on the brightest of days, the light can’t reach you when you are deep within the forest - holding your secrets and keeping you safe.
