Confluence is a shawl inspired by the joining
of two rivers, coming from opposite directions,
joining and mingling where they meet.
To showcase the difference between two rivers
that might have run over different ground,
rocks and mountains, the colors are inversed,
which conveniently also uses up an even
amount of yarn.
This crescent shaped shawl is worked in separate
pieces, joined and knit together via a
center section, with no picking up of stitches
involved.

I twist and turn and then meander,
I rush and ripple and then wander.
From slate to clay to sand and gravel,
my color shows you where I’ve travelled.
As waters join, mingle and grow,
they tell a tale of where I go!
