Carol D. wrote me shortly after I sent out the big email and asked for a link to the shawl pattern for my daughter-in-law. Sorry. I didn’t think to include it.
Not only is it here, it’s free. And Heidi Alander, who gifted it to us, is Finnish. I’m very fond of Finnish design these days. And my first boyfriend was Finnish and his design was cuter than anything I could imagine at the time. Even now, when I look back 50+ years, I think he was well designed.
So if you get a chance . . . thank her. Here’s her Nurmilintu Pattern.
Szia,
Cheryl
p.s. Szia is not Finnish. It’s Hungarian. My grandparents were from a small village in Hungary and I still have family there. It’s a bit like “aloha” or “ciao,” but with a different accent. One of those all-purpose hi-bye words. Very handy 😀
p.p.s. What’s even handier for those of us who speak English is that it’s pronounced just like “Seeya,” the truncated form of “I will see you later, alligator.”
Cheryl, I have just found your blog and have to say I love your sense of humour. Liz x
Thanks. Me too. 😀 I crack myself up sometimes when no one else is laughing. I do it strictly for health reasons.
