Kristine just completed Swoop by Romi Hill using Floating in the colorway Josephine and Michelle and Frond in the (new) colorway Meringue. So incredibly light and ethereal, this piece is gorgeous and very fun to knit - each time a little pop of color appears it's like a little bump of serotonin - like seeing a field of flowers. There are four colorful options - two of which include our new Summer Solstice 2022 colorway: !

Cast on along the left edge, this striped shawl forms a wing shape by building one wedge upon another. Lace inserts are written so that you never have to break yarn or carry a long piece of your second color along the edge. Magic! The shawl is bound off with a reverse stockinette stitch i-cord which provides a strong edge while blending in perfectly to the garter stitch of the shawl. Overall, Swoop is a fantastically relaxing knit! - Romi Hill
