Notes

This shawl is for a very special woman who's son has neuroblastoma.  She likes bright colors, particularly pinks.  If anyone needed anything cheery in her life, it is this woman (wife of a collegue).

I felt I needed to move fast on this (though now I'm stuck in the fringing phase) so I selected a lovely draft.  Usually I create my own.

The weft is a slightly lighter color than the warp giving the over all piece more depth.  I also sampled using the same color and found it flat in comparison to the two-color sample.

The shawl was delivered last week.  Santi, age 9, died early yesterday morning.  I can't express the grief we are all feeling.  Neuroblastoma is a vicious disease with no good treatments.
