Moonwish Wrap: Crochet Shawl Pattern

Thank you so much for all the love you've shown for my very first shawl design. Last week when I revealed the two versions I made - sizes S and L, see this blog post -  I also asked you for some name inspiration. Well......I received so many lovely suggestions that it was really hard to choose one, so I went with the name that had the nicest ring to it, I had positive associations with and hadn't been used on Ravelry yet: Moonwish. I like the sound of it (literally) and as I've just been reading Yasmin Boland's book Moonology, I thought the name was really fitting. Also because the shawl has a crescent shape.

For the pattern release I did another photo shoot and added a touch of peacock. I couldn't help myself: there just has to be something peacocky in there if at all possible. I think the shawl and necklace work very well together. The necklace featured is my Peacock Eye Necklace that I designed a few years ago and it is available on my blog and on Ravelry and Etsy.
