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

sample shown uses harrisville designs’ nightshades (80% american cormo/20% american wool, 250 yards [229 metres], 100g) x 3 skeins in insomnia
*note: due to the lofty nature of the suggested yarn, it’s a good idea to grab an extra skein just to be on the safe side so you don’t have to play yarn chicken. use any leftovers for a pair of fingerless mitts or a cute hat!
