Designed by Kat Goldin

Our boggy patch of earth doesn’t have much going for it. We spend most of the year up to our ankles in mud, except for a few glorius weeks in late Spring when the Flag Iris blooms and its golden flowers pop out against the dark green foliage.
This lightly textured and patterned shawl worked in vibrant stripes will bring that glory to your fingers as you make it and to your shoulders all year round.
