Florescence Shawl by Ambah O'Brien
Interested in trying mosaic knitting, it's quite popular right now. I've been searching for a shawl that really stands out.....enter the Florescence Shawl. It's crafted from the bottom up, showcasing a floral motif with geometric styling, inspired by Art Deco design elements. I've chosen Kinross 4ply in Black to contrast with Chimera in Rainforest. These two distinct shades will create a stunning high-contrast effect. As always, you're welcome to select your own colour palette.
