Thunder Moon
It can be felt long before it arrives. The sky grows dark, like a bruise, and the air is hushed, waiting. Then, in the distance, a rumble, just as the full moon begins to rise, peeking above the horizon for a brief moment before being swallowed by the storm: Thunder Moon.
In 2017, the Thunder Moon occurs on July 9. It’s also know as the Buck Moon, for this is the time of year when bucks begin to grow their new antlers.
The Thunder Moon shawl has a diamond-like lace body and an arrowhead lace border. The sample shawl was worked in Lichen and Lace’s 1 ply merino fingering (colourway: Silver Fox) and is a size medium.
