The lace on this shawl reminds me of rays of sunshine. Every time I wear this I will be wrapped in sweet memories of my childhood” - Lila* *“This was a very enjoyable, meditative knit, easily memorised, ideal TV/Craft group knitting. The pattern is very well written and easy to follow”- Linda* *“This is such a relaxing knit and shows off the yarn beautifully on the stocking stitch section.
