The name Quixotic: quixotic “kwiksotik”
Possessing or acting with the desire to do noble and romantic deeds, without thought of realism and practicality; exceedingly idealistic. Impulsive, like Don Quixote; romantic to extravagance; absurdly chivalric; apt to be deluded.
A shawl in a bold look with a bit of a European flair. It is a bit of “Contemporary” meets “Romantique”. Starting out with a simple garter stitch section, moving into a satisfying stitch pattern with great rhythm and simplicity that is easily remembered. Beads all around the shawl lend a romantic touch as does the dramatic lace section that adds the final touch.
This is a stunning looking shawl with a timeless look~
