Life is complicated. At any moment, things can change and throw us for a loop. Some years the ups and downs and twists and turns get up so mixed up we don’t know which way is up and which way is down. The Twists and Turns of Life Shawl is created from a year of ups and downs, but beautiful things can come from the mess, and this shawl is dedicated to the beauty in the chaos. With each stitch change and color change we are reminded of this beauty.

This pattern was designed with 3 hanks of Hot Springs Fiber Co Magic Merino DK yarn. Colors used are Hummus, Olive Oil, and Eggplant Parm.
