Frisson
by Brittany Wilson
Cold winter months can go
on and on, seemingly without end, until that moment when hope is restored by
trees and plants pushing out their leaves towards to early springtime sun. If
you’re like me, you wait very impatiently for this sign that the warm months
are just around the corner.
Frisson is that moment of
excitement and joy that it will soon be time for sandals and sundresses. This
lightweight bias shawl can even be knit as an advent calendar for spring; the
lace sections grow and grow right along with your anticipation for the warmer
months of the year.

PATTERN NOTES
Bind Off: The bind off for
this pattern is done purlwise as follows: [P2Tog, slip stitch back to left-hand
needle]- repeat until desired numbers of stitches are bound off. Be careful not
to bind off to tightly, you will want some flexibility when blocking the shawl.
Brackets on Row 2 and
other WS rows: (k1,p1) into double yo indicates that you will knit into the
loop of the first yo and purl into the loop of the second yo.
