Walk the Lines
This textured shawl tells the story of individuals who have had to overcome many obstacles and endured a few hardships in their lifetime.
As you work through this project, take the time to reflect on your life’s journey and adventures.
At the end, wrap yourself in the warmth of the lines you’ve walked.
Dedicated to my mom YAB.
There are two sizes available, a shawl and a large wrap.
The 5 sections each represent different stages of life:
Waves, I see you, The Climb, Pause and Reflection.
This project can also be a great stash buster. Included in the pattern is a yardage/meterage breakdown for each section.
