INSPIRATION:

Point Me Home has a garter stitch triangle pointing you to home. Home can be so soothing and comforting, just like garter stitch can be for us knitters. Home can mean something different to each person. As this year draws to a close, I know what home means to me. It means being near family and doing things I really love to do. This year has truly helped me bring my priorities into focus. I hope you can see that direction in this shawl.
