“Boon” means a blessing or help and we all benefit from the blessing of friendship. I designed this shawl with the intent to donate its earnings to nonprofits and charities. It’s perfect for knitters of all skill levels and lends itself to being a meditative project. I hope that you find comfort in its details, whether you keep it or share it with a friend.
