For my first Ready for Fall collection, I published ‘Some Me Time’, a shawl that resonated deeply with many knitters.  In today’s hectic world, finding moments for inner peace can be a challenge, but Some Me Time was born from the belief that such moments are invaluable.  It Brings You Peace is a natural continuation of the journey that began with Some Me Time. A simple, mindless project to help us pause, breathe and embrace the moments of tranquility and self-care.

This shawl has a very simple construction, with a central spine, and it alternates sections of garter stitch, vertical stripes done by slipping stitches (no brioche) and the simplest lace.
