Inspired by the colors and textures of Isle Royale National Park. From the shades of the iconic Greenstone to the lush forests, lakes, rocky peaks, and Lake Superior Shore.
Hiking the length of this island is high on my bucket-list.

This blanket is knit using mitered squares. Each square is picked up and knit off of previous squares to minimize finishing. Squares in different colors and sizes create interest and is ideal for multi colored yarns with high contrast in the colors.
