Lunaria Shawl
There are moments in nature that feel almost too delicate to hold - soft petals on a
spring breeze, moonlight caught on glass, the shimmer of seed pods hanging like
silverDesigned especially for a sock set - one full skein and a coordinating mini, this
crescent-shaped shawl flows from an opened field of lace into a rhythmic band of
texture that echoes the rounded shapes of the Lunaria seed pods. It finishes in a
flourish: an elegant edging with softly pointed arches and radiant openness. Each stitch
reflects light and shadow, form and softness, intention and movement. Whether
wrapped close or worn loose, Lunaria is a reminder that beauty blooms best when you
let it breathe.
