Windswept Boomerang

$7.00

Windswept Boomerang whistles to that special skein of fingering/sock weight yarn looking for a fun and relaxing knit pattern. I always enjoy how the boomerang shape drapes around the shoulders and naturally adds a bit of spontaneity to the day. Pattern is accessible to the novice and experienced knitter. Created on US 7 needles, it’s a satisfyingly quick knit, ready to brighten your day.

My dear friend’s birthday inspired this boomerang shawl/scarf; Patty radiates kindness, generosity and goodness every day in her personal and professional life.. Of course, my birthday wish for her is that kindness boomerangs right back.
