Of all the nights during the year, Midsummer’s Eve is the most magical and mystical. During that night, fairies dance and anything can happen. In Sweden, young girls pick seven different kinds of flowers in the hopes that they will dream of their true love.
People raise midsummer poles and make midsummer wreaths and celebrate throughout the night, during which the sun doesn’t set.
The Mystic Midsummer Wreath Shawl is a crescent shaped shawl, inspired by the midsummer wreaths worn by young and old on this magical day. It will be published in a mystery knitalong format, hosted in the Knit & Knag Designs group on Ravelry. It uses 2 skeins (total 700 yds) of Classic Merino Lace from Knitting Notions in Dark Rose.
The KAL starts on June 15 and the shawl pattern will be published in 4 weekly clues on Wednesdays.
The cost of the KAL is $6.00 CDN until June 15, at which point the price will increase to the regular pattern price of $8.00 CDN. Please sign up here.
I know you did yours in dark rose, but I placed an order today for aubergine. I just love the look of the color which is really outside the box for me since I am blue person. LOL
Yes, that was another lovely colour. Honestly, I had trouble choosing.
Anna my yarn arrived in the mail today, I think I have died and gone to heaven, not only does it feel great the aubergine is drop dead gorgeous. Think I will have to start saving up to order some other colors too. LOL
