Canadian Living did it with this darling summer crochet set of a granny square Kaleidoscope shawl and a matching halter top finished with rosette flowers. Darling. Floral & bright, but not too floral nor not too bright. Attractive, but a bit modest also. Just right. How Canadian!!!
What do you think of it? A winner??!!
