The Sand to Sea Shawl was in idea born October 2019 while sitting in the floor of Georgia’s first yarn bus. I was sitting with a friend during a local festival squeezing the yarn, when a red-haired, stylish older woman stepped on the bus and said “Sand to Sea” when she saw the speckled neutral and shades of blue and turquoise yarns in my head. My eyes grew big as I looked at my friend and we smiled at how awesome of a name she offered us! The fun started with thinking about how to recreate sand meeting the water in crochet. After lots of thinking and a few sketch ideas from my friend, I started with a half circle with bobbles for the sand, and my sister picked a wave stitch pattern for me. I had to bling it up a bit by adding some beads to the waves to mimic the crest of waves. I love how shawls are a classic wardrobe staple to be worn for all occasions and multiple seasons.
