It's the sort of shawl that will go with just about anything! But I don't think you should just save it for very special occasions, try and wear it whenever you feel like it and you will see how much wear you will get out of it. I think this pattern would also look great in a mauve colour!! Totally love it!!!!<br />Enjoy your weekend!<br />Ingrid xx <br />Myfunkycrochet.blogspot.beIngrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-66929176619547727012015-09-03T07:33:56.559+01:002015-09-03T07:33:56.559+01:00My shawl started at about 55” by 17” before it was...My shawl started at about 55” by 17” before it was blocked.
