This or That OR Ocean Moon Kit

This or That begins with a choice between your preferred shape, Shawl or Wrap. Both the Shawl and Wrap will follow the same design/stitch patterns; only the shape will differ. 
A “choose your own” Adventure. This or That begins with a choice between your preferred shape, shawl or wrap, followed by a journey of 6 parts. Both the shawl and wrap will follow the same design/stitch patterns; only the shape will differ. Each of the parts will offer a choice between Path A or Path B. Follow Path A or Path B for a standalone design with each part flowing into the next. Or mix it up as each choice is presented to you; start with Path A or B, then work Path B or A and so on. Path A is an organic journey with flowers and circles and path B is a journey through a diamond landscape.

Ocean Moon was originally designed as a Mystery knit along (MKAL) incorporating five clues plus an optional bonus clue, the Ocean Moon Shawl is a choose your own adventure project with many choices to make along the way. Start by choosing your yarn either three colours or two colours plus five mini skeins or gradient yarn. Option A provides instructions for the intarsia moons and Option B omits these allowing plenty of room for the optional Twinkle, Twinkle finishing touch where you can add embroidered constellations.
