Designed to make the most of the Koigu pencil box set featuring 10 colors, Venation Shawl by Ambah O'Brien will keep you inspired to knit as you work toward each color. Simple shaping also keeps the project interesting and results in an easy-to-wear shallow triangle shawl. It is inspired by the venation structure of leaves, and the autumnal colors chosen for the sample reflect this. Of course, any color fade combination will shine with this project as will knitting a solid color version, allowing the venation structure to be the focal point.
