The Flora and Fauna Rectangle Lace Shawl, designed by Jennifer Dickerson of Fiber Flux, is a rectangular wrap crocheted in an all over fan stitch. Easy stitches and gorgeous yarn work up beautifully and pretty on-trend fringe gives it a bohemian festival look.
The Flora and Fauna Shawl celebrates springtime in fabulous crochet lace and fun fringe to finish it off. This is a perfect piece to compliment any outfit, both casual and formal alike!

Hey everybody! Shortly into our CALs we realized that our out-of-the-box blog comment system wouldn't let us reply to your comments.
We've since installed Disqus, above, which allows you guys to respond to each other and us to reply to your questions; seems like a no-brainer!
We will continue to display existing comments from the old comment system on all existing blog posts. All future commenting will be done through Disqus. Enjoy!
