“Forest
in Spring” - a Shawl by Lotte.
Lotte
Wackerhagen has created a beautiful shawl that is
reminiscient of the well-known Shetland Shawls. She designed and
knitted her version in a square format.
The
center of the pattern symbolizes the forest floor in spring. It
depicts European Thumbleweed (anemone nemorosa), framed by stylized
leaves and stems. Beech leaves form the outside border of the
shawl.
The pattern is provided in hard-copy only (6 pages, in colour) or PDF file.
Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing it.

At
this point, Lotte’s shawl is still at her house. Soon
it will travel all the way to Geesthacht for a photo session! |

The lovely
pictures of ANEMONE NEMOROSA (Buschwindroeschen) were
taken at Usedom.
