I went back to some basic roots in designing with stripes for this shawl, which I named LOCAL GIRL, and I encompassed a repeating lace motif which uses double yarn overs for a beautiful and open stitch pattern. The garter section is also peppered with the slightest of short rows for some visual interest in the contrasting color. Breaking away from my personal rule of "One Skein Per Color", I used two skeins for the lace motif, and I can't regret my decision. This project was begging for more love in the lace section, and the result of a sizeable and stylish shawl was truly amazing.

MEASUREMENTS:
78" in wingspan and 28" from top of shawl to deepest point.
