Notes

In addition to wanting to finish my 11 shawls with a bang, I wanted something big to cuddle in this winter. The result was this beautiful monstrosity.

This is probably the longest a project has ever taken me, taking 28 days (and as many vodka screwdrivers) to finish.

I ADORE THIS SHAWL. Probably my favorite thing I’ve knit this year.

12 yucca (finished 9/21)
