breaking waves / Paulina Popiolek
The roar of surf against shore. The drape of Tern’s wool and silk is beautifully showcased in Paulina Popiolek’s Breaking Waves. This side-to-side crescent shawl in garter stitch is adorned with an i-cord edging and beautiful wave-like lace border that looks deceptively complex to work (but isn’t!)—both of which are worked as you go.
