Wrap yourself or someone you love in luxury with this gorgeous shawl. Carolyn Wyborny adapted a lace edging from Weldon’s Practical Needlework for this project.
This shawl is wide and relatively narrow in depth, so you can wrap it around your shoulders or scarflike around your neck without too much bulk. The result reminds me of lace curtains in an Irish kitchen.
