In Honor of Her Too

In Honor of Her Too by Mara Licole Knits | I wanted to design a shawl that honors women and girls with a particular focus on those who have touched our lives but whose story is tainted, forgotten, or was unfairly ended in a way that makes you want to honor her and rewrite her story. For those women and girls, we knit this project: In Honor of Her Too. Alternative version with advanced brioche available here: In Honor of Her
