Moonlight garden

Moonlight garden was inspired by my dreams of homesteading and gardening alongside the seasons and phases of the moon.

This half pi features an interesting construction: the different lace portions of the shawl are worked alternatively on the right side of the fabric and on the wrong side, creating a unique texture. An attached border is then added to bind off all the stitches.
