From Designer Stephanie Lotven:

Every day I hear about escalating conflict, escalating fear, escalating tensions. I am tired of hearing about negative escalation. This shawl was designed in the spirit of positivity. I want escalating FREEDOM, escalating CREATIVITY, escalating JOY! This shawl is my happy place: a bold palette, graphic lines, relaxing garter stitch, and just enough lace to keep things interesting. I hope it brings you a bit of escalating happiness!
