"I should soon meet with a man whose destiny would in some unknown way be bound up with mine, and that I should meet him through the agency of a heron. ... And as the threads are twisted at your first meeting, foster-son, so will they always shape themselves at all the rest—a thread of one colour, a thread of another.’ ... I saw you meeting five times. The first time and the last were by water…" -The Flight of the Heron, DK Broster

and the Prophecy shawl is released upon the internet! I finished this thing back in April, when I'd been working on it off-and-on for a couple months. This is my very first shawl, and I created the design myself. I used a 'wingspan' shape, lace cables, eyelets, and a wave-like 'old shale' design. The cables and the waves are each in sets of 5 to call back to Ewen and Keith's 5 meetings. I also took inspiration from the "roots of trees entwined" passage in the eyelet rows and the cables. This shawl is so soft and light and I feel immensely proud of myself wearing it :]
