Today’s blog is a combination of FO Friday and ECF (Eye Candy Friday). See? I’ve had these two shawls finished for some time now, but haven’t yet blogged them as FOs. Both are gifts. One of them was being held back for final updates until the recipient had gotten it, since she reads the blog. [...]
