Painted Wings Shawlette

Completely beautiful and charmingly rustic, the Painted Wings Shawlette is a knit shawl pattern you'll love draping over your shoulders whenever the mood strikes. This lacy pattern looks amazing in a pretty multi-colored variegated yarn, but the design is strong enough to hold up to a solid color fiber, as well. The diamond lace edging looks lovely when styled like a scarf or covering your shoulders as a traditional knit shawl pattern.

"Tab" refers to a particular type of shawl cast on, where you create a small knitted triangle that the shawl is then knit from. When the pattern says to pick up stitches along the tab, you just pick up stitches along the row of stitches you just created. Editors of AllFreeknitting

I really wish you would put photos beside each of the patterns so that you don't have to click on each one individually to see what it looks like. This would apply to all the pattern lists you send.

What does "pm" mean? I've heard a lot of abbreviations but that's not one.
