I just finished the Fern and Thistle shawl last weekend. I was scared to run out of yarn when I bought the wool, and now I have a whole unused skein to add to my yarn stash. (like I really need any more in this house, LOL)
It was fairly easy to knit. Now it's on to something new to start on my needles.

Thanks for all the

Thanks for all the compliments.
It's from a book titled, "Wrapped in Lace - Knitted Heirlooms from Around the World", by Margaret Stove. I won the book in last year's Maryland State Fair, and thought it would be nice to enter a shawl from that book in this year's fair. Funny thing is, when I dropped the shawl off last week, the woman who took the shawl and information knew immediately that it was from that book. When I go to the fair today, I'll find out if I won a ribbon for the shawl and the bedspread.

That is quite lovely, Jim. I can totally see knitting that for a present. Is it your pattern, or did you find it somewhere? Congratulations on a great bit of knitting.
