Here is a warm shawl that you will love to wear this fall!

Just like listening to a Beatles album, knitting Noro yarns always makes me happy! I thought that this shawl could be my “Octopus’s Garden” and as in the song that bears that name, It will make me “warm, below the storm, in my little hideaway beneath the waves”- Louise

“I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’s garden in the shade
We would be warm, below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves”
Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr
