I love this so much! I’ve been wanting a cozy, bulky shawl for a while, and this one fit the bill. And, I got to knit it out of my handspun, so it’s a double win!

A note on the name:

My mom’s friend Magda is the best at making me feel safe, loved, and protected. She is deep into her 80s now, and has known me all her life; basically, she is the grandmother I never had. Even though we don’t see each other a lot as she’s still in Poland, she always makes sure to include me in her prayers. I am not in the church anymore, but still, there is something so comforting about knowing that halfway across the world, someone thinks of me and wishes me well every day. Being wrapped up in this huge warm shawl is a little like having Magdzia right here.
