Finished and Donated
This shawl was actually all knit last summer as a charity project for Chicago’s Go Red, a Women’s Heart Health fundraiser. It sat waiting to be blocked, and since they did not want the items until sometime in January, I saw no urgency to blocking it. I love the pattern, and the color pink is so beautiful. The first version that I made was gifted to my sister Diane, that was in a natural wool. This is Merino and Silk and I extended the pattern by one repeat. Love them both.
