Oh, the beautiful, wondrous full moon! There are endless images that go with the moon shining bright at its fullest from the scary to the wonderful. To me, the full moon is a time to soak in its energies and see what it wants to highlight in my life. The journey from the new moon to the full has been about outward action, and next, with the receding light, we travel inwards and take stock.
With this in mind, and the full moon as my inspiration, I designed the Embodiment shawl. This shawl was first published in my first book, A Little Book of Moon-Inspired Shawls and is now available as an individual downloadable pattern as well.
It is a full pi shawl, so you are working it in the round. With DK-weight yarn, this large shawl grows quickly and in no time, you can envelope yourself in a cosy hug from our nightly guardian.
There is a spiral of popcorn stitch bobbles which are worked all on the right side of the shawl, so there’s no turning the work back and forth. The bobble spiral goes across stockinette and seed stitch rings, creating the feeling of pulsating vibrancy – and a path that carries your manifestations out in to the world.
You can now find Embodiment in my Ravelry store. If you would like to have the full collection of 9 moon-inspired shawls and the accompanying texts, Laine Publishing still has the ebook in stock (and a few copies of the Finnish soft cover book)!
