Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens? Those things are nice, but let’s be honest; yarn is at the top of my list! This shawl design definitely contains several of my favorite things; locally hand-dyed yarns in blues and pinks, a rhythmic garter stitch pattern, and something beautiful to cuddle up in when I’m done! Pick one of your favorite yarn dyers, choose some colorways you love, and knit up My Favorite Things Shawl for yourself!
