Brave & Kind

The Brave & Kind shawl is a crescent-shaped shawl using brioche in combination with a simple lace pattern. Brave & Kind is inspired by all of the people in the knitting community who have been
bullied in this past year for no discernable reason and have had the bravery to not apologize for doing nothing wrong. These brave business people have largely responded with kindness, in the face of relentless unwarrented attacks. I admire their bravery, mental fortitude, and their kindness and compassion in a difficult time.
