Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Someone dashes through the airport with only minutes to spare. Or climbs up on stage and stutters out a passionate speech. Or walks slowly through a crowd as the music swells, eyes locked on their one and only. No matter what obstacles they’ve faced, in the final scene we know that everything is going to be okay. Cue the tearful laughter, tight hugs, and promises. There will be declarations of love and the biggest kiss of the whole film. A party where all the characters dance their hearts out. A final close up, and credits roll. Happily ever after.

The Ever After Shawl is a romantic and memorable accessory. Knit in two colours of delicate fingering weight yarn, this asymmetrical triangle shawl has real leading lady energy! Stripes and impressive-but easy chevron lace keep things interesting, with optional beads to add that extra sparkle. It is finished with a deep garter stitch border for a modern finish.
