This is a shawl for my friend and colleague Mitali Tewari. Mitali has been through Hell and come back the other side recently. I wanted to make her something feminine and soft to the touch. This is Araucania Quellon #2 in pinks/oranges. It is so soft it feels like a kitten.



This picture shows the repeating pattern which was actually easier than I thought. It is a downloaded pattern from Lion Brand's website - all hail LB.com. It's called Elegantly Simple Shawl.


The second picture is the complete shawl, it's a bout 5 feet long and 13 or 14 inches wide, I didn't measure it, this is a guesstimate. With the tendonitis in my hand/arm, it took me almost 3 weeks to complete. Tragically slow ... but it's done and it's beautiful.
