There She Weaves by Night and Day
Weave your own magic with this shawl! Choose bright colors like the Lady of Shalott, or soothing neutrals, then weave them together!
The main body of the shawl weaves on itself with a faux smocking stitch, and overlooks the river in the border, just like the poem says!
Finished Measurements: 60” Wide x 25” Deep (152 cm x 63 cm)
“Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver Thro’
the wave that runs for ever By the
island in the river Flowing down to
Camelot. Four gray walls, and four
gray towers, Overlook a space of
flowers, And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.”… “
There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She hasheard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.”
(The Lady of Shalott - Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
