Nancy's notions catalog has a wonderful Patchwork shawl more of a U shape. it would be a Christmas tree skirt with just a little shaping and the neckline is more of a U rather than a circle.
But first try on that Christmas Tree skirt, It may be wonderful and work so perfectly and be your very own design
Thank you so much for this info. I went and searched, found one I thought she might like and googled that. Found another one she might like. She ended up choosing the Calypso jacket. I'll try to insert the link. It will be perfect for her. She meditates everyday and her shoulders get cold.
