The Champagne shawl is inspired by my friend Malene, who have lived with multiple sclerosis for more than 29 years. Though she is totally dependent on her wheelchair, she never lets that stop her from enjoying life to the fullest, enjoying adventures, social events and every opportunity for party and champagne that comes her way.

Sclerose is the subject of a lot of research in the hope of developing better medicine and possibly a cure. The Danish Multiple Sclerosis Society finances a large portion of the research in multiple sclerosis in Denmark and also supports international research – and fundraising plays a large part in this.

The Champagne shawl plays a part in this endeavour. For every sale of this pattern, I will donate 15 kr. to the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Society. Therefore I would like to thank you for your support for the good cause.
