I have been wanting to design a triangle shawl for a long time, but it always intimidated me. I came across some old pictures of a triangle shawl in my Memories on Facebook. I told myself “self, you have done this before so you can do it now!”

One of my friends on Facebook saw my old pictures and told me the shawl would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift idea. So I named the shawl after her, Catherine.
