Making No. 2 / Fauna / Open Waters Shawl by Melanie Berg

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on November 15, 2016October 8, 2020

As I mentioned yesterday, the 2nd Issue of Making by editor Carrie Bostick Hoge of Madder features a lovely shawl design featuring The Fibre Co. Canopy Fingering: Open Waters by Melanie Berg.

From the magazine:

“The act of making helps to connect us to the past, knowing that many craft skills were practiced daily out of necessity. We also connect to our present, as we stop to slow down and enjoy the work at hand, leaving behind the stress of our busy days. And, possibly at the heart of our creations, is the future. As the sweater we knit or the blanket we quilt becomes an heirloom for our family to use, enjoy, and pass down to the next generation. Circling back and tying us to the past. All these connections are equally important and help to bring meaning and value to the beauty and utility we make.”

— Making Magazine / Carrie Bostick Hoge

The triangular shawl features a garter stitch body and large scale open lace pattern along one diagonal edge. Reminiscent of flowing water, the design is lovely in the drapey, flowing Canopy Fingering. Shown in River Dolphin, a lovely blue grey that reinforces the “waters” theme, it will be interesting to see how the patterning of the shawl changes in appearance if other colors are used. I’m intrigued by the prospect of it in a color such as Tanager or Quetzal – would the waves appear as peacock feathers in a lovely, vibrant teal?
