The wind is a master artist. Swirls and curves, lines and circles, all crafted with precision in the desert sands as if the wind had been creating its own masterpiece.
This crescent shawl mimics that shifting landscape along the bottom edge, with a (small) sand dune rising above the shifting patterns.

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.
