Wrap yourself in the colours that make you happiest. No need to explain or overthink - just pick the PM: place marker
first three that jump out to you. The Glee Shawl is a simple pleasure to knit: the luxurious blend of sl2wyif: slip 2 sts knitwise with yarn in
alpaca, merino, and silk elevates this combination of stripes, garter, and a modular asymmetric front
construction. SM: slip marker
ssk: slip 2 sts individually knitwise.
We added pompoms at the end - for pure gleeful whimsy! Insert left needle tip into the fronts of
these 2 slipped sts and knit them
together.
