The nautical phrase “Anchors Aweigh” means that the anchors are clear of a waterway’s bottom and the ship is officially under way.   With this, my first pattern launch, I too am officially under way as a designer.  Thank you very much for your support!

Anchors Aweigh is a tribute to my son and to Annapolis, Maryland, the town I’ve called home for over 35 years.  A triangle shawl with a center panel of lace anchor motifs, it pays homage to the rich history of Annapolis as a working port, sailing capital and the home of the United States Naval Academy.  To complete the nautical theme, Anchors Aweigh is framed with a perpendicular border reminiscent of the waves that lap the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.  A simple, yet elegant shawl, Anchors Aweigh is the perfect accessory for those breezy summer evenings walking along the water.
