Eastern Glow
My goal for Eastern Glow was to create balance, both in the look of the finished shawl, and in the knitting process. A generous dose of garter stitch and easy-peasy eyelets sets the stage for two color brioche and a delicate lace finale.
Note: I recommend using an I-cord bind off for Eastern Glow to provide enough stretch for the lace to block out as shown.
