It’s the Year of the Dragon!

Throughout history, dragons have symbolized strength, power, wisdom, and good fortune. Meet Carla the Dragon, a graceful yet spirited design dedicated to my dear friend Carla—a professional ballerina, world traveler, dedicated physician, educator, and all-around incredible woman. And yes… sometimes a dragon.

This elegant triangular shawl features a striking dragon motif and is knit in fingering (sock-weight) yarn on 3 mm needles, creating a lightweight shawl that is both beautiful to wear and engaging to knit.
