Volare is the Latin and Italian word for the verb to fly; adding an acute accent on the final e (volaré), it is also the Spanish word for “I will fly.”
It’s always freezing at my office. I always have to wear a shawl. Said shawl usually has to be conservative, particularly when we are expecting clients.
When I saw this Kauni colorway, I KNEW it would be perfect for this type of shawl.
This is a quick and easy design you can knit until whenever you feel like stopping, run out of yarn, or just feel the shawl is the perfect size.

Volaré Shawl
Oh, wow – it’s stunning!!!
The soap was a big hit this weekend, by the way. Thank you again!
What an excellent marriage of yarn and simple lace pattern. Great job! I am going to ravel it. ~ksp
Ooo! Very nice! I was wearing Lily today at the office. Menopausal freakin’ meadows there. The Menopausal Mamas crank up the A/C because hey, they’re the one person out of ten that’s hot. Why shouldn’t they have 100% control of the thermostat? I can’t wait til we move to Newark. I swear I shall never ever be one of those Meno-mamas that force my hormonal swings on others when my time comes.
But back to your shawl–very nice!! I’ve never seen such a subdued Kauni color.
it’s gorgeous!! I would like to try it.
Beautiful design!
We just finished using the soap and it was heavenly! Thanks again for the lovely package.
It’s gorgeous! Now I can see all the colors in the yarn and wow. I’m loving it!
Wow that’s so pretty. It’s always cold in my office too. How ironic that I wore a shawl yesterday.
I’ve got the perfect yarn and COLOR to make that shawl 😆
Oh, so pretty! I think I have yarn in my stash to do that! But maybe I’ll go buy something new. HAHAHAH! 🙂
It came out fabulous!!! I need a conservative shawl too for work and church! Mmmmhhh Great work Mrs. Designer!! 😉
Wow, that is beautiful and I could have definately used one today at work. Yet another pattern to add to my wish list. I still have to purchase the yarn for my last purchase from you.
Ummmm, they got SOAP…And I didn’t? I am crying foul here, dude! 😥 I guess you call me chopped liver?
