Ravelry’s new site redesign has been causing serious problems for some users, me included (migraines, seizures, vision issues, etc). To this day, Ravelry had responded poorly and refuses to acknowledge or address these issues, other than saying that people are lying.

If you refer not to support this ableism, this pattern can also be purchased directly from my PayHip store, with no fees going to Ravelry.link above**

Every four years February has an extra day, and children born on this day are called “Leaplings”. In celebration of an extra day this February, I cast on this sweet crescent shawl. Knit up in meditative and squishy garter rows and broken up with ribbons of lace, this shawl is the perfect pattern with any outfit you might wear this spring.
This shawl was originally an inspiration by my mom, and I’m honored to be able to share this beautiful pattern with you.
