 I
want this issue just for its pattern by Nancy Bush. It is an Estonian
Triangular Summer Shawl that is knitted. We have twisted Susan's arm
and she will be knitting it out of Elegant Yarns Athena. We have told
her she has one week to finish it. If there are any cross-stitchers
out there it has a pattern for motifs for cuffs, collar and pockets.
