I almost feel like (dare I say) I did not get enough time to wear and enjoy all my wraps this year. I made a lot. And some turned into my favorites, so I wore those more than the others. Now I see this one, and I wish that I would have stumbled upon it at least a few months ago! I have someone special in mind for this one -)

Love the complexity of the design of this shawl especially the alternating uneven white/purple/violet ripple pattern I can imagine the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton wearing this shawl in one of her functions. This would look great when worn over a plain lilac or midnight blue dress accentuated with a silver clutch bag.

Loving the amazing look of this shawl, love the colors they've used in the picture but this could be customized to the recipient's favorite colors! This pattern also looks so easy to make, but so luxurious at the same time! Can't wait to try!
