Fissure

Fissure is about change. Letting change happen and making change happen. Change that takes place in nature and in our lives everyday. In nature change often is seasonal and cyclical and ever repeating in a never ending dance. Fissure can be the dry earth cracking open in the hot summer sun, or concrete giving way to roots pushing up from below the sidewalk. Fissure uses 3 colors in subtle contrasts, a slipstitch and slip stitch cable pattern. You can easily manipulate these stitches without ever using a cable needle. I didn’t use one for the entire shawl even though the pattern calls for one.
