War of the Roses by Lena Skvagerson

Craft: Knitting

Oh love, whether it’s a spouse or a shawl. There’s the easy garter stitch and the spikey bits, like this edging, which is where learning and interest happen.

Starting at center at upper edge, worked back and forth on circular needle to make room for increasing number of stitches.
