The Champagne Run Shawl

©2014 Molly Conroy-Ungerecht, All Rights Reserved

At our shop, Hands on Knitting Center, we all enjoyed making The Milk Run
Shawl by Cat Wong (a free Ravelry download and tons of fun to knit). But I
decided to make a shawl out of luxury yarns in stockinette with just a hint
of lace. Given the price of the yarn we decided that we would be more
likely to be caught running out to grab another bottle of champagne than
milk! This is a big, luxurious, full body wrap shawl.

Size: 80” wide across top and 60” long at center top to center bottom.
