This is a shawl I created and dedicated to my sister who is the best sister anyone could ever have and who I miss terribly because we are much too far apart. Elegant, just as my sister, JudyB is a simple crescent shaped shawl knit with silk and cashmere to give it drape and a touch of luxury wrapped around your shoulders. She is knit in garter stitch with lace and reversible cables using short rows to give her that unique shape.
