Call of the Sirens

On February 2, 2012, in Call of the Sirens, lace, by Anna

Call of the Sirens was the first shawl that I designed using yarn from the Sanguine Gryphon.  Several have followed over the years, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this one.

The Call of the Sirens lace stole draws on the Greek myths about the Sirens. The Sirens’ calls could bewitch sailors to make them forget who they were and and where they were going. Often the Sirens caused them to forget to navigate their ships and the ships would be wrecked against the rocky shore.
The edging of the stole show the waves, followed by the rocky shoreline. The center portion of the stole represents the braided hair of the beautiful Sirens.

I am now able to republish the pattern, and as such it is available for immediate PDF download here.
