I just got my Queen Anne's Lace Shawl #2 blocked. So my Christmas knitting is now complete. This QAL shawl blocked out to 72 inches (183 cm) across which is 4 inches (10 cm) larger than my QAL #1 Queen Anne Lace Shawl #1 - pink.

Again, I apologize for the quality of the photo. I had a dickens of a time getting taking a photo that was not blurry and that showed the dark purple color. Wasn't too successful. The color is actually a deeper purple.

This is just another fantastic piece of work. I am most envious, and if your sisters don't appreciate them (and I'm sure they will), I'm up for adoption.

That is a good question.

That is a good question. And just so you know Tom, I'm not above groveling, I have given birth, I have no dignity left.
