A shawl inspired by the predawn sound of birds and the shape and lightness of feathers
Published in Making Magazine Issue no. 11 Dawn.
The dawn chorus is the harbinger of dawn. It is an efflorescence of sound by birds as the light arrives. Inspired by the predawn sound of birds and the shape and lightness of feathers, Chorus Wrap is a shawl knitted with lace-weight yarns in single and double strands to layer colors of the sky at dawn and to create different levels of translucency and lightness.
