Its official title is 'Quiet Journey' but I've renamed it The Hope Shawl. I made it for my Instagram friend Fran who has Long Covid, I shared her story and photo here a few posts back.

I knit love and prayers into that shawl and my hope is that some day soon she will be well enough to sit up in bed and eventually be out and about in her wheelchair.
