A Prize For Me

Let me start of by saying that I never, ever, win anything.  Not raffle prizes, games of Connect 4 or, heaven forbid, the lottery.  So I was so very surprised and honored to win the giveaway for the September Miranda Hat KAL!  What did I win you ask?  I won this ...

A gorgeous shawl pattern called Faraway, So Close by Carina Spencer.  I must quote the designer here because I her words are so much better than anything I'd come up with "This shawl was originally designed as a gift to comfort a friend during a time of much grief. In honor of Infant Loss Awareness Month, each October all proceeds from the sale of this pattern for the month are donated to charities that offer support and guidance to families suffering the loss of a child."  

On Ravelry alone knitters have made 1103 of her thoughtful and beautiful shawls.  I can not wait to knit one.
