Ilja Leja's Lady of the Forest evokes the mystery of the forest, is knit in a continuous flow of bias knitting in Garter Stitch until the collar and border are added at the end. Enhanced by the natural striping of a handpainted yarn, it drapes in different directions, when worn in different ways.  It can be worn as a shawl or, when sewn together, as a large cape or poncho.

Shown in self striping Kauni Effektgarn 8/2.
