I really enjoyed this knit. Nice to work a shawl from top down, it goes faster towards the end.
I liked the different stitch patterns she selected. Each is different enough and I had not done most of them before. Also like the fade/stripe sections to soften the transitions.

And, I picked a really good palette ;)

This thing grew like crazy after wet blocking. But it’s all good.

ETA I wore this all winter and I loved it! It’s really soft and warm.
