Virago highlights the duality of perception and misconception in all strong and spirited women; the courageous and the fierce are considered shrews and nags, ill-tempered by those that seek to tame the virago.

This shawl is knit from the top-down using two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn, depicting the battle between the bold and fearless with those that wish to ensnare them.

The virago will always prevail.
