Be enchanted by Sachiko Burgin’s Widdershins Shawl with its deep colorwork border of sun, moon and stars illuminated in Russet against a background of Indigo. This glorious knit begins with a garter tab and works outwards through sections of solid knitting and lace until you reach the colorwork, and then bordered with a picot bind off.
