At the stroke of midnight - somewhere on planet earth - we’ll be kicking off our 2021 NYE MKAL, Fairy Kisses!

Like all fairies, this lovely shawl has some tricks up her sleeve, but nothing you can’t manage! There’s garter and lace and some german short rows that give this beauty her shape. Intrigued? Ah, those fairy kisses are hard to escape!

You’ll receive a “Welcome” letter when you purchase the pattern. Be sure to read it over carefully!
