Hello. I just wanted to say thanks for having this pattern. I made this a long time ago for a lady in a wheel chair. She was a kind person to me and she said that was the most beautiful shawl she had. I made it in yarn given to me and the color was black. Thank you Dot and thank you Crochetville for having this talented Lady patterns on here.
