Pattern Description:

A collaboration between Bittersweet Woolery and SillyLittleLady, this pattern was first available as part of a Mystery KAL but is now available to everyone!

Knitting can help a lost soul find their way through to creative productivity just as a compass guides a traveler. This shawl combines both in a deep, beautiful sea of lace dyed by the wonderful woman behind Bittersweet Woolery. This would be a good introductory project for the knitter who wants to try his/her hand at lace shawls as it's not too challenging and would also be good for the experienced knitter who wants pieces of meditative knitting to get them through. The majority of the shawl is knit with the lace pattern only on right side rows, purling the wrong sides but there is a small section in the middle where the pattern is worked on both right and wrong side rows, keeping it fresh through that middle stretch before the finish line comes into view halfway through.
