Do you feel lucky? The name of this came from the horseshoe lace design and their folklore of bringing luck. I know growing up on a farm, we always had a horseshoe over all the exits. All that pass, may they have luck.

Thanks to Kyira(forgot her Rav name) I was able to get a PDF that she had of this pattern and put it up fast.

Available as a kit on the website. This pattern uses smaller thrumms placed more frequently. This distributes the inside wool more evenly and quickly reducing the chance of lumps.

The bright one is Small and the blue grey is the large size.

Amy says you can really use any weight of yarn for this fun shawl.
