It doesn’t matter how grown up we are. After an early start and long hours on the road, the internal chorus of “are-we-there-yet” never really goes away. But as you continue on and the landscape rises and falls and rises again, there it is. A glint…that telltale shimmer in the distance. Your first glimpse of the sea. A moment of pure magic. It’s just around the bend, just over the next hill, just beyond the dunes. Whatever scheming and planning it took to get you here, the journey has been worth the wait. You’ve arrived, and the day has only just begun.

The Sea Gleam Shawl celebrates the feeling of arriving at your favourite place and the anticipation of all the joy still to come. This two-skein shawl is a gentle crescent shape, knit from fingering weight yarn. It is big on texture, with broad garter and stockinette sections, dappled with eyelets and finished with a simple but highly effective lace border. This is a lighthearted, relaxing, and meditative knit, perfect for long road trips or a long day at the beach.
