Notes from the Designer:

Inspired by the weaving plot of a great story, the cables in Denouement climb gracefully throughout the shawl over an openwork lace mesh background. This lightweight piece will be a favorite to drape over the shoulders while cozying up with a beloved book. Just like the plot of a good book, colors begin with #1 “the exposition.” Then the color intensifies in the “rising action” of color #2. The lustrous gold in color #3 represents the “climax,” followed by “falling action” in color #4. The deep color of #5 quiets back down into the “resolution.”

• Shawl is knit from end to end, beginning and ending with a special ribbing that flows into the cables and lace.
