Make a Million Shawl

I wanted a shawl that I could use for any yarn—an answer to the question, “What can I make out of this?”

I didn’t want it to fall too far down in back.

I wanted it to curve around my shoulders so it would stay on.

I wanted it to be easy—a go-anywhere project that I could take to meetings, in the car, in the train, on a plane, on a boat, or wherever else I went.

I wanted it to be able to make it with variations so that I would never be bored as I knit.

And I wanted all the little details to be refined and thoughtful.

This, my fellow knitters, is that shawl. You will probably make a million of them.
