FORVIE SHAWL BY K.M. BEDIGAN

Growing up on the coast, Kirsten has had the sea as part of her life since she was very small. The ever-shifting combination of water and coastline as the tides change the landscape – both bringing to and taking away from the shore – was the inspiration for this design. The gentle eyelet motifs create a wave-like texture and are paired with a linear slip-stitch pattern that evokes the rolling sand dunes which accompany so many beaches.
