This work is a meditative Pi shawl that starts quickly with great momentum
and leaves you in a quiet meditation at the bind off.
This work is inspired by the writing of Segovia Amil.
Their book Ophelia Wears Black is exceptional,
and the poem Bruja struck something very deep in me.
I hope you find the solace in this knitting that I found in that poem.
