Notes

Super quick and easy knit (though make sure you check the pattern page for errata and the newest version). Dad used to call mum silver fox (her hair turned gray on her 30th) so the colour kind of chose itself. Mum loved my first Mara (the first shawl I ever knitted…) and asked me to knit one for her 70th birthday….glad to report that she loved the colour (the look on her face when she put it on and looked at herself in the mirror was a very special moment - she glowed….snif…..;)).

Crappy photos taken in a hurry the morning after the birthday party…ahem.
