MY OASIS is made with my two favourite yarn bases by Woolissime Yarns: Inés and Stella. I also added some beads to the lace border to make it fancier, but I am sure it would look good without them, too.

The shawl begins with the classic triangular shape worked in Garter Stitch, finished with a beautiful border of Japanese lace. The wavy edge is formed by the lace pattern and emphasized by blocking.
