I cast on this shawl on my travels. I wanted to knit something interesting but still easy and fun that wouldn’t need much concentrating on difficult pattern making. This shawl is relaxing to knit, since most of it is garter stitch, easy enough to work while watching TV or chatting with your friends. This simple but fun design is perfect to showcase some of your favorite variegated yarns from your stash. Aglea is a variant of the Greek name Aglaia, meaning “beauty, splendor”. I received this yarn from my yarn dyer goddess, Lise, from TréLiz Yarns from Greece and wanted to name the shawl with the name that these colorways deserve.
