New shawls: Wild Cherries & Lake Song

June 22, 2017

By Janina Kallio

Wild Cherries and Lake Song shawls are inspired by the magical white nights and peaceful cottage life of the Nordic Midsummer.

The endless daylight and quietude of the countryside make up the quintessential Nordic Summer experience. Heat up the lakeside sauna, breathe in the peace and silence and feel your worries fade away.

I hope knitting these delicate and ethereal shawls takes you on a peaceful journey and fills your heart with joy. Wind your favourite yarn, gather your supplies and enjoy each delicious stitch.
