When I was thinking of the words I wanted to use to describe my amazing friend Kelli, I Googled the term “graceful warrior’’ and found this: Graceful Warrior exists to inspire, challenge, and uplift the human experience with self-realized empowerment, and celebrates the awareness and practice of choice.

My friend Kelli is all that and more. She has fought a battle no one should ever fight and she did so with dignity, strength, and beauty.

This is my gift to her….

This shawl is a relaxing knit with an easy-to-memorize repeat and is constructed asymmetrically, which allows the knitter to blissfully knit until it’s time to bind off.
