This is my new shawl design, Nightshade, which also happens to be my 200th pattern! And because this amazing knitting community has supported me since day one, it’s a free pattern on Ravelry, forever. Just a little thank you for all of you - your sweet comments, kind words, and encouragement along the way. I’m forever grateful.
