Wild Waves Whist

Auch auf Deutsch! -- Aussi disponible en Français!

This asymmetrical shawl begins at the shore and slowly rows out to deep sea, starting with a cool blue at the tip and gradually increasing until the knitting has left the sunny shallows far behind and is adrift in open ocean. As pleasant and rhythmic a knit as waves on a beach, this shawl is named for a line in The Tempest. that at once tells about the untamed yet gentle waves.
