GAWAINS SHIELD

The six knitting projects in this collection are based ,on the enchanting medieval story of Sir Gawain ,and the Green Knight. Five stunning, crescent-shaped ,shawls represent the five knightly ,virtues symbolized on Gawain&rsquo,s shield, with an ,additional sixth project based upon the magical ,belt that replaces Gawain&rsquo,s shield later in the story. Included along ,with the patterns is a summary of the text as well as a discussion of ,the role of Gawain&rsquo,s shield and the Green Girdle in both the story ,itself as well as in the patterns._,
