This was a shawl made in June while I spent a great deal of time waiting and worrying. The center rectangle is knitted from cotton and wool. The outer edge is knitted from silk which I hand spun. The silk is single ply and rather bumpy but that gives the lace edge more character.

The scarf became a gift for the wife of a doctor as a token of appreciation and gratitude for all her husband had done for mine.

I have never before given away any item that represented so much time and concentration, but under the circumstances, no other course felt right to me.
