Hand-Knitted Sicilian Shawl (Custom Colors & Patterns)

Made by these hands for 65 years. Choose your colors and pattern -- traditional Sicilian, modern geometric, or 'surprise me Rosa.' Takes 2-3 weeks. Each shawl comes with a tag that says who made it and a lifetime guarantee, because I plan to outlive everyone in this neighborhood.
