Lana's Waves

A few years ago I visited my Aunt’s for a party on the 4th of July.  It’s a stunning place perched on a cliff overlooking Redondo Beach in Southern California.  Along with the awe inspiring location; my Aunt Lana’s home is outfitted with items that are more aptly described as “pieces” rather than furniture.  Instead of the haphazard chaos I’m used to, everything in her home was very purposefully and intentionally selected.

That evening as we watched the fireworks from the deck, the ocean breeze was actually kind of chilly.  Here was a perfect opportunity to create something unique for my Aunt.  Something with a purpose, but lovingly crafted and uniquely made for her home.  The idea on how to do the color transition was inspired by the “Amber Waves of Grain Afghan” I saw in a Herrschner’s catalogue.

The scallop pattern which reminds me of waves is complemented by the ocean like blues and cresting white.  While it's not terribly original, I still find it beautiful and hope you do too.  Click here for a link to the pdf: Lana's Waves* (thank you google docs).  As always, if you find an error in the pattern, please don't hesitate to email me at daniaerickson@gmail.com.  If you're interested in reading my blog post about this pattern, click here.
