Basilica

In case you missed it, over the summer Interweave released a new book called Free Spirit Shawls.  It's written by Knits Editor Lisa Shroyer, and includes 20 different shawl designs with great descriptions of different shawl shapes and techniques to create them.  I'm honored to have a design included in the book, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to tell you about it.  Here's my Basilica:

Basilica is a triangular shawl knit from the bottom up (which was new for me!), featuring a chevron-y, zebra stripe-y pattern in two colors of luscious Brooklyn Tweed LOFT.  It's a shallow and long shawlette, perfect for wearing as a kerchief and adding a little punch to your outfit.
