This is a shawl made with "Romantic Lacy Stitch' as "Pink & Yellow Scarf". I had picked it up from the artist Yolanda Lopez on you tube, I highly recommend her videos for their clarity in presentation and details.
this one was specially a gift for a cousin sister for all the gifts she had lavished on me time and again. I hope she liked it and that she could put it to a good use.
The thing with gifts is that they are made with a lot of love and affection but sometimes they are not received very well for whatever reasons.
In Hindu there is a custom of giving 'dakshina' along with the donation/charity. Dakshina is a gesture of gratitude expressed by the giver to the receiver for accepting his donation. Its meaning is tremendously beautiful because not every gift/charity/donation is necessarily received well. Hence when it is, there is a reason to thank the receiver. It instills humility in the giver that he does not necessarily have an upper hand and hence the feeling of superiority should not creep in and that it is a two-way process where both the giver and receiver are equal.
