Done! Just in time for Stitches South ….
Designed for two contrasting colorways, Altitude is a crescent-shaped shawl with an extravagant lace border. The shawl begins at the back neck with just three stitches. The body features a simple lace pattern flanked by garter-stitch wings, and is suitable for both tonal and moderately variegated colorways. The all-lace border is worked along the entire length of the shawl. Frequent increases in the border allow for dramatic blocking. The complex lace is best shown in a tonal colorway.

Some things I love about this shawl ….
* Color, color, color! Be as WILD as you want to — the body section will stand up to moderate variegation, so don’t be shy! Or … be subtle and sophisticated with mellow tonals that are closely related. The choice is yours!
* Shape! Crescents are my favorite shape for easy wearing. The curve keeps everything in place, and the fabric just swoops across your body with stately aplomb.
* Ruffles? Almost! The massive increase in stitch count at the border means that extra fabric for extreme blocking, but it also means the edge goes 3D with very little effort. Lots of movement in the finished piece.
