Another of the new patterns in Ilga Leja's City Collection.

Here's what Ilga writes:

"When it’s time to go shopping, it’s the perfect time for a generous shawl to wrap around your shoulders. Make it a special one that shows off the subtle gradations of colour in a handpainted yarn.

"Using a simple lace stitch pattern combined with Reverse Stockinette Stitch, this sumptuous stole is worked entirely on the diagonal, giving this piece its exquisite drape."

Yum!
