Sweet Magnolia was inspired by the lovely ladies of the Thursday night knitting circle at Tolt Yarn & Wool in Carnation, Washington. A new yarn arrived in the shop; creative juices started flowing; and with a lot of laughter, this design was created to welcome spring. Make it long or short in a variety of yarns for a new look every time.
