The Design

“The 'aaah' factor big time.”

A big, fluffy blanket to curl up under. Or a graceful shawl you can throw over the back of a chair or around your shoulders with equal elegance. It's the perfect project for newer knitters or accomplished knitters looking for some 'zen' knitting between more complicated projects. It has the aaah factor big time!
