“Given good yarn, good workmanship, and good care, a knitted shawl can outlive its knitter, providing warmth and pleasure to several generations of family and friends.” -- Martha Waterman

though the pattern calls for fingering, I’m plumping it up a bit :-) with a more rustic yarn. I can already tell I’ll be making more of this one -- next time with a lovely rich fingering yarn.

MODS: slipping the first edge stitch of each row purl wise wyif to create a nice clean selvedge.
Not stopping at the 11” but plan to use the entire first skein before doing the second section.

PATTERN: Very easy and straightforward. Love the simplicity of her patterns yet how lovely they knit up.
Used JSSBO.

Finished and I love it! It’s large enough, squishy, very warm, and looks so pretty. I was going to gift this one but I love it so much I’m keeping it.
