Stuck with Ewe

Pin HERE  or with the image above.  One of my favorite things to make is shawls. I make actually too many of them. They're just so versatile, going from modern and casual to dressed up or even Jane Austen-esque. Honestly, I make too many.

The name "Picket Fence" was suggested and I thought it was just perfect!  Don't the mesh rows look a bit like a picket fence?  My sister graciously offered to model it.
