Finished Object Dance: Shawl

[celticdragonfly]

The Irish Diamond shawl is FINISHED!

Yeah, I stayed up too late doing it, and my shoulder is sore, but once I started binding off I just HAD to finish.

No, I haven't woven in the ends yet - but I've been doing Russian joins all along, so there's only the two. And that can just wait.

I've been planning this shawl since last September at FenCon, when I was getting chilly in the late night filk rooms.

Here's a link to Wendy's pictures of her Irish Diamond Shawl -

Yes, hers is beautifully blocked. Dunno if I can manage that or not. Hers is lovely fancy yarn. Mine is white acrylic - yarn that was given to me by an online friend from her mom's old stash. So hey, free. It'd be nice to do a shawl from exquisite fancy yarn someday, but I wanted something I could take to a con and not be paranoid about and could bring home and toss through the wash, and I think this will do nicely.

That looks gorgeous. Nice and big. I hate skimpy shawls.

And if you ever get bored with it as a shawl you can use it as a Christmas tree skirt. ;-)

The lacework is beautiful. I bet that yours, in white, will be beautiful as well. May it serve you well for a long, long time!

Ooohh! Very pretty, and congrats of finishing it :) I'm feel morally compelled to finish the afghan I've been working on for **mumblemumble** years before I start anythingthing larger than a sock.
