"A coat, a hood, a baby-wrapper; a saleable commodity, or a gift made and infused with love; a functional textile, or a fashionable one - the hap has many faces."
Still totally immersed in fibre arts and all things Irish, the cover of this new book in the Northern Fibres Guild library has a hap (or shawl) by Irish knit designer, Carol Fuller. Here is my version - still in progress.

Lindy Beauty! My first thought was to bring this book to Simone‘s attention … then I realized that you were the one posting. Of course. 😁 6y
