V’otsala – a new pattern

...to keep us knitting along during July, 2016! V’otsala is the Greek word for “sea pebbles” and I tried to capture the moment the sea caresses these pebbles… Yes, the yarn color was what inspired me in the first place, but so was the need for a light, ethereal shawl with a new shape and …

What? Again? I can almost hear you say that, you know, but today's post is mostly about color inspiration!
