Drifting Seas

Drifting Seas is an airy lace shawl that combines a handful of cables with lots of lovely lace. A gently repeating lace motif extends across the fabric and culminates in a simple cabled garland towards the border. I love introducing cables in lace motifs, using a lace weight yarn – the cables give a three dimensional quality to the fabric as they rise above the backdrop of lace. With this shawl you get the benefit of cables, but only have to work them for 8 rows in total. Finally, a delicate flower motif set into the scalloped edge makes this an eye catching lace shawl, and a great way to try your hand at delicate cabled lace.
