A beautiful shawl, in a good, wearable size. Soft and lightweight and warm. You should know, though, that "gossamer wine" and "maroon" are the same color! I would love to see some new colors, and not just new names for the same colors.
Oh yes, if I don't pin this to my body, with a brooch, my female colleagues would " borrow " this, permanently........the first time I walked into the clinic, with this wrapped around me, eyes followed me everywhere.....
I love the softness, warmth, design, color and fit of this. I used to knit a lot, and can confirm that this is high-quality work. My favorite sweater. I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs and the medium was a perfect relaxed fit which is what I prefer..
