Question from antmeg, “Hi ladies! I am looking for suggestions on a wrap/shawl. My stepson is getting married and I’d like to have an amazing shawl to wear over my dress. Dress is floor length, one shoulder and black so anything goes really. Just need a good pattern and also yarn suggestion for a yarn that absolutely does not shed. I appreciate your help!

About Leslie

Leslie is obsessed with knitting, and when possible, perfection in her knitting. All stripey socks must match exactly and all lace must be blocked severely. She has major love for all of her viewers/readers and hopes to keep blogging and podcasting for years to come.
