HOLY MOLY shawl - is it a costume?   

I think practical and statement – just a cacophony of holes; to wrap and envelope. Techniques that encourage a challenge – Huge holes that are made by creating 10sts out of the bar between the left and right hand needle. Increasing and then decreasing to make Holy Moly grow slowly.

Garter stitch borders frame the shawl with a garter stitch section at the end of the shawl.
