Puzzle Night

Everyone in my family loves puzzles and games. When we gather together to play the newest board game or assemble a puzzle, I always bring my knitting along, too. The mosaic pattern on this shawl is reminiscent of interlocking puzzle pieces or the pawn pieces sometimes used in board games. The intermingling of the gradient and main colors throughout the shawl is like the relationships between members of a family–each unique, but blended into a beautiful whole.
