I am lucky enough to live near a large network of parks with some incredible walking trails. One of my favorite starts is in a wooded area, where if I am lucky, I can spot wild trillium growing beneath the trees. Then I go past a fenced area where bison roam and finally, back to the woods and trillium. No matter how many times I wander that trail there is always something new to notice.
This generously sized top down triangle shawl was inspired by the angles I saw on my walk; the trio of petals that create a triangular flower, the intersections of the wire fencing keeping the bison safe, the shafts of sunlight through the tree limbs and even the angle of branches as they separate from the trunks of trees.

About the Designer: Mary E. Rose
Mary learned to knit as a young child and it has had an impact on her life ever since. As a teen, when her friends were getting jobs at fast food restaurants, Mary worked at her LYS, where the hours and working conditions were much better.
As with many knitters, when she couldn’t find patterns for what she wanted to knit, she started designing her own.
She currently lives in Central Ohio with her three children, who also craft. She can be found on Ravelry and her blog, or with knitting needles in hand, guarding her stash.
