About my Story Shawls
I was born with a benign tumor on my face. For over 22 years, doctors were unable to diagnose it. In 2017, I did a second opinion (though honestly, it was more like the 10th opinion) and was finally diagnosed with an ultra-rare condition that affects only a handful of people worldwide.
Since then, I have been actively searching for others with this condition, and I have already found 100 people from all over the world. It has become my life goal to find and meet them.
Many of my upcoming patterns are special shawl designs inspired by my “extended family” as I like to call them.
