Ishneich Shawl – this had been sitting in time out for a long time (maybe two years?) I really love the yarn, it’s a camel/merino blend I believe and I’ve really been wanting to
knit with a “fancy” yarn. I couldn’t figure out where in the pattern I was so I ripped back 28 rows of the edge knot ribbing pattern
