faodail has a different definition depending on whether you're speaking irish gaelic - “a lucky find” - or scottish gaelic - “canal.” either way, this shawl will be an easy and enjoyable project for you, with a quick-to-memorize lace chart and soothing garter border. this triangle is quick to block and also quick to grow once you do. a perfect wearable blanket once it's off the needles, to be sure.

needles: US 7 (4.5mm) 32” (80cm) circular needles, or size needed to obtain gauge
