Impulse Shawl
My momma bought me a new coat a month ago, and I still don't have wooly hand-knit accessories to match yet. I mean, isn't that the whole point of being a knitter? I have a hat and some very unmatchy mittens I've been wearing, but had no scarf. Brrr!

ReplyDeleteHow many shawls do you have by now?
