And now for the normal stuff - Vexed is the 10th pattern for our beautiful Mad Balls! All 10 will now come free with a Mad Ball purchase. Mad Balls are ultimately fun, engaging and beautiful and we’ll keep making and updating the listing for shipping while we’re closed!

I love that this shawl is V shaped. Mostly because I am a V. Though, back when I was in groups doing ice-breaker exercises, and always having to come up with a good adjective that started with my first initial…it would just lead me to being VEXED because the other V adjectives were few and far between and not at all me.
