Ilga Leja

Field and Forest

"This multi-directional shawl makes the most of a handpainted yarn, especially when paired with a coordinating solid colour," says Leja. "Worked in several sections, each one added seamlessly to the one before, this piece is easily adapted to any size. Use this design as a template to experiment with different colours-- as many as you like-- and then add various embroidery stitches to decorate it further." This pattern, so beautifully detailed, offers immense 'scope for imagination', and the look can be as rustic or sophisticated as you can dream. It's hard to imagine something that would indeed make more of a handpaint. You may need to buy a lot of them, but why on earth not? Gauge given is over garter stitch after washing and blocking.
