This pattern is inspired by a relaxing travel to Zahara de los Atunes, Cádiz (Spain). Because the smell of saltpeter, the cadence of the sea and absolute silence introduce me as a connection with myself and I experienced meditation through the knitting. I wish that this shawl could transmit that capacity of meditation that you can get with knitting. How this act is able to reconnect with ourselves, to enter into harmony, just as I could do in a paradise by the sea. I hope you enjoy this shawl and bring you to those moments of serenity.
