I won a drawing for this beautiful Fleece Artist yarn in January of this year. The only condition was that I do something charitable with it. At the same time, a person who is very dear to me was diagnosed with, and underwent surgery for, breast cancer. She is now an eight-month survivor! In her honor, I offer the following:

And how it looks when knit.

This beautiful shawl has been hand-knit by me. It is knit with luxurious Fleece Artist Goldielocks yarn in the colorway Mahogany. Goldielocks is a textured yarn made of 56% kid mohair, 24% silk and 20% nylon (hand-wash, please). It measures approx. 60" wide by 30" deep. Beautiful fall colors - photo does not do it justice!

All proceeds will go the Susan G. Komen for the Cure-Global Headquarters.
