Whole-hearted shawl

A very special friend gifted me this pattern, Wholehearted, and I couldn't wait to get it started...then get it finished.  I may need carpal tunnel surgery after this one (numbness in the hands and arms quite frequently), but it was worth it!!!  A gorgeous pattern, a gorgeous shawl, and a gorgeous friend who sent me this.  Love ya, GerryArt!!!


I used Caron simply soft for the solid, and James Brett chunky DK weight for the variegated.  Colors ended up matching up pretty good.
