Hello. My name is Emelie, and I am from Sweden. I was looking around for a nice shawl-pattern and I found your Angel Wings one and fell in love. it said to email you if you were to sell it when it was done, and I couldn't find an emailadress so I thought I'd comment instead. I don't know if it counts for selling, but I'm giving the shawl to my church's christmaslottery so there will be money gained from it so I thought I'd better ask for permission;) Hope it's ok, 'cause it's a beautiful pattern. Thanks for the inspiration! // The Swede Emelie
