Exsanguine
The Exsanguine shawl, with its upside-down hearts and aptly namely colorway - “My Bloody Valentine” - calls to mind the darker side of human emotions. Whether you’re commemorating the upcoming anniversary of the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre or secretly dreaming of that guy who dumped you on February 13th last year meeting a slow, painful death, you can do so in style and warmth with your very own Exsanguine shawl.
Or hey, maybe you’d like a cheerier accessory for upcoming holiday of romance. Worked up in a solid red or pink, the lacy heart pattern would take on a whole new aesthetic. You could even use a fun rainbow gradient yarn to celebrate the USA’s first Valentine’s Day with nationwide marriage equality! #LoveWins!
