This asymmetrical shawl begins at the shore and slowly
rows out to deep sea, starting with a cool blue at the tip and
gradually increasing until the knitting has left the sunny shallows
far behind and is adrift in open ocean. As pleasant and
rhythmic a knit as waves on a beach, this shawl is named for
a line in The Tempest. that at once tells about the untamed
yet gentle waves.

Asymmetrisches Dreieckstuch wird in Reihen von der rechten Spitze
zur linken Kante gestrickt, und führt vom seichten Strand langsam ins
tiefe Meer hinaus. Angefangen mit kühlem Blau an der Spitze, mit
gemächlichen Zunahmen bis das Stricken die sonnigen Ufer weit hintersich
lässt und im offenene Ocean auf tiefen Wellen dahin treibt.
Ein angenehmes und rhytmisches Tuch, dessen Namen von einer Zeile
aus Shakespeares ‘The Tempest’ stammt, ein Stück das zugleich von
den sanften, jedoch unzähmbaren Wellen erzählt.

Ce châle asymétrique au point mousse commence sur la plage et
se fond lentement dans les profondeurs de l’océan.
La pointe d’un bleu tendre s’élargit et rejoint peu à peu l’horizon
sombre où le soleil a plongé dans la mer.
Tricoter ce châle fait penser au rythme du ressac des vagues sur la
plage.
Son nom vient d’un vers de La tempête de William Shakespeare.

A moonlit haze shrouds over meadows as fog rises from the warmer water in the cooler autumn nights and silver dew forms on everything. The water splashing and sparkling on rocks and the silent ripples and water-movements that are left behind by unseen tail flicks of swimming creatures hidden under the still surface of the water all found their way into this shawl.
Worked from the top down with optional beading, this shawl celebrates water in its myriad of forms:
Ripples, spray, mist, fog and sparkling dew in the moonlight.

I find my way through rocks and stones,
streamlines form where fish do roam.
Bleak rocky shore changes to brush,
fish and frog do like the lush
undergrowth, to hide and thwart
kingfisher’s eyes are very sharp.

And fog ebbs into meadows thick
as cooler nights are nearing quick.
From mountain stream down to the sea,
mist and dew will follow me.

Get cozy and turn a few pages in these sea worthy mitts.
Their rich cable motifs and sweet details lend them a little
drama and a little magic. Perfect, with a name plucked from
the pages of The Tempest. and a yarn that’s thrillingly soft
and wildly colorful.
Full Fathom Mitts are worked in the round
with a smart gusset thumb for excellent fit and a trim look

Die Maschen dieses Musters tauchen auf und unter wie die
Sonne, die an einem rauhen Tag durch die Wolken bricht und
sich in den Wellen reflektiert.
Die Mütze, gestrickt aus einer dicken, flauschigen Wolle, ist
eine Spielerei von Maschen und Struktur, in der das Zopfmuster
wie in Wellen an die Oberfläche gehoben wird.

Sur ce bonnet, les mailles roulent et rebondissent, comme les éclats
de soleil qui se reflètent sur la mer en perçant les nuages. Ces torsades
simples, travaillées en laine épaisse, sont une amusante façon
de créer de la texture.
Il est proposé en deux tailles, moyen et (large).
