What was your inspiration?

Number one was Laura's pretty red shawl. Also seeing so many others master the Skywalker made me think that maybe I could learn to make it too!

What are you most proud of?

I did it! I learned lace knitting and how to make this pretty shawl!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take time to preview the classes before actually embarking on making this shawl for the first time. Laura is a great teacher and she literally walks you through this step by step.
