| Please excuse my 2 weeks postpartum baby belly ;) |
I designed this shawl for
a dear friend who attended the birth of my youngest son. I wanted something really nice for a thank
you gift, but with a newborn and a 4 year old in the house, it had to be quick
to knit up. It has 3 options for the
edge- eyelets, picots, or bobbles. It
can be worn as a scarf or a shawlette.
