I started this last summer but put it away as I had other things to do, and of course because it is full of nupps (ugh) it was an easy decision to put it aside lol. It is called "The Greta Garbo Shawl"

Yikes, Dennis. It really is

Yikes, Dennis. It really is full of nupps, but so deliciously pretty. I, too, am interested in the pattern and the yarn. It looks like a lace weight wool. Good luck. Are you a quarter of the way finished? Do you have snow in Nova Scotia?
