the scales of balance in a libra moon are seen most clearly by the harmony they strive best to maintain in their lives. libra moons are notorious for doing their most to keep the peace, even if that means they lose out on something to please someone else. the sweet spot, dear libra moons, is to find a compromise that keeps you and those around you happy without sacrificing your own values and needs.

the libra shawl is a true balancing act, knit from one end to the other in a simple knit and purl texture that fans out evenly from the centre. tassels add a bit of fun as well as structure to this design.
