I am sharing on of my newest designs with you guys. WHile there is isnpiration I have to write them. This is done on size 11 us, 8mm and with Lionbrand Fisherman's wool. Somebody asked me what does this make it a man's shawl and I will have to say that is my vision of a man's shawl. A woman may wear this shawl without hesitation, but I know it is made with men in mind.

I agree with you, We men don't get enough attention in our shawls and you learn so much making one.
