A beautiful lace pi shawl with a unique stitch pattern based on a secret code for the word “Knotions” and a knit-on border.
Editor’s Note: How cool is it that Tanja designed an entire shawl with the word “Knotions” in it? I’m floored and stunned and VERY complimented that she’d take this time and effort. Just, wow.
