Electric Sheep
Beata’s shawl reminds me of op-art – an art movement focused on creating optical illusions. Take a look at the photos and notice how the zig-zagging lines create the “ridges”. What I love about this shawl, however, is the use of a stunning tweed yarn – an unpopular choice, but so beautiful.

Bring Me Sunshine
Jem’s asymmetrical shawl pattern can be interpreted in a myriad of ways. You can use multicolored yarn (just like the original), or go for a classic one-color type. Depending on the hues you use, the openwork will look differently, so try out a few options before committing.
