  • Rustic Three-Point Shawl

    So, not many of my projects are for specifically for me, but this one was. I wanted something big, warm, and blanket-like that I could wear. Because who doesn’t like to be cuddled up in a nice blanket at all hours of the day? Seriously, best feeling ever. Anyway, I did some looking around and…
