LACE BEADED ROSALIND SHAWL to KNIT in FINGERING or SPORT WT YARN SIVIA HARDING

THIS IS A BRAND NEW PATTERN  LEAFLET FROM SIVIA HARDING KNIT DESIGN CALLED THE ROSALIND SHAWL, DESIGNED BY SIVIA HARDING. 

A TALE OF LOVES LOST AND FOUND AGAIN, MISTAKEN IDENTITIES, ROYALTY HIDDEN AWAY IN THE FOREST…AND ONE OF THE GREATEST HEROINES PUT TO PAPER…THIS IS SHAKESPEARE’S COMEDY, AS YOU LIKE IT.  IN THIS GARMENT, I TRIED TO CAPTURE ROSALIND’S TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AS SHE STRIVES TO RESCUE HER KINGLY FATHER AND GAIN THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, ALL THE WHILE DISGUISED AS A BOY. 
 
THE YARN IS HUMBLE ENOUGH, A FINGERING WEIGHT SHETLAND, BUT THE DESIGN IS COMPLEX AND RICH, FEATURING CABLES, LACE, BEADS, AND A LABYRINTHINE CENTER PANEL.  I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT ALTHOUGH THE “PLOT” MAY GO FAR AFIELD, ALL COMES RIGHT IN THE END, AND WITH A REGAL BEADED FLOURISH TOO!
