Leila Wice
This top-down shawl inspired by Shakespeare’s play As You Like It features cables, lace, beads, and a labyrinthine center panel. I hope you will agree that although it may go far afield, all comes right in the end, and with a regal beaded flourish too! First published as part of the Shakespeare in Lace Club in 2009 from Wooly Wonka Fibers.
