Sea Fog
Sea Fog represents my return to the delights of lace weight knitting. Like its oceanic namesake, Sea Fog is delicate and airy: a mist-like shroud for your shoulders when the weather turns cool. Sea Fog is an elongated triangle that transitions to a crescent, giving it extra depth than a traditional crescent, but still retains the eye-catching curve that gives a crescent shawl its visual appeal. Central increases are hidden in the central motif that advances down the stockinette body, and then blossoms into a deep lace edge embellished with nupps and beads, flower motifs and arches.
