This shawl was inspired by the concept of Morning Pages by Julia Cameron (in The Artists Way). I never quite got the hang of rising at dawn to complete my journaling, but I did design and knit a shawl in which to do it - so I’ll call that a win.

The Morning Pages shawl is a generous, over-the-shoulder shawl in a semi-circle shape. It is knit in DK/worsted weight yarn for added heft and to keep you warm on chilly mornings.
