We were in the middle of moving, well…paused in the middle of moving and I saw the knitting pattern for this shawl on instagram. I knew it was just the perfect gift for a dear friend who was about to celebrate her 60th birthday. For some nuts reason, I figured it would be a quick project that I would easily complete in time for the party. It was not, but that is entirely my fault and as usual, my over reaching ambition to challenge myself.
