Wild Geese Across the Moon

Wild Geese Across the Moon is a large crescent-shaped shawl worked from the top down. It features three different arrowhead lace patterns, and a 2 stitch picot bind-off border. The patterns of Wild Geese Across the Moon were inspired by a poem of the same title by Muriel Stuart, and are meant to invoke flocks of geese making their way south for the winter. There are no defined transitions between the three different lace patterns. Instead, the patterns shift from one to another, creating new shapes, just as geese do as they change position within their migratory v.
