Shawl for breast cancer

A dear friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of September, and operated on October the sixth... on that same day her pattern for this Beautiful shawl was released.

                           Alina by Merja Korhonen  knit in Posh Yarn Sophia 2ply...

We are having a Knit ALong in various groups on Ravelry ,since  part of the proceeds of the pattern sale will go to cancer research in Finland, AND October is the month of prevention!

The shawl is a cloud of cashmere softness,  and I gave it to Tiina, my finnish friend in Italy, for her birthday! (which is in December! =))
