Luna Moth Shawl


Design: Luna Moth Shawl
Designer: Elann
Yarn: Sirdar Blur

This is quite a sad little tale, really. This was my first ever shawl that I knit, back in January this year,  and I knitted it surprisingly quickly,with only a few mis-steps, and it was destined to be a gift for my BFF for her 40th birthday. And then the Royal Mail lost it.

I just hope that, wherever it it now, it is being loved and cherished, and wasn't just tossed in a bin ...

The Royal Mail has broken my heart too. I know your pain. It was lovely.

Oh, Nic, it's tragic to think that your shawl is lost!! Perhaps it will one day resurface and make its way to your friend.

That's devastating! I hope it finds it's way back home, it's just beautiful!

It's so lovely, much better than the original pattern. May I ask what yarn you used to make it so whispy? AS for it being lost, I too would like to think that your lovely shawl was diverted by God's hand to someone who really needed a hug.
