All That She Knits

This weekend my boyfriend's mother is celebrating her retirement. So I'm in charge of baking dessert --blueberry or apple crostata, which is easy. But I'm at a lost for what to give her as a gift. She's not a shawl wearing woman and that's good because I am in love with my shawls, especially this one. I mean just look at that pretty detail on it, right? .. So I need your help. Any suggestions for a retirement gift for a really chill, 70-something year old retiring nurs...e? She gardens, reads, hikes...Drop your ideas below and I will be so grateful .. In fact, I'm so grateful I have an EXCLUSIVE 15% off coupon code for you --yes you! If you'd like to buy the pattern for this shawl, find Wild Flower + Honey on Ravelry (or click the link in bio) and get the discount with code: HiMara. Don't you just feel special when there's an exclusive discount? See more
