This 2-skein shawl is designed to be mostly “mindless” so you can knit & chat with your friends, watch Netflix, or whatever! It’s simple enough for a beginner’s first shawl, and advanced knitters might be able to knit the whole thing without looking at your stitches. I love knitting with friends, and this shawl lets me knit away in happiness!
