Feather and Fan Wrap
Yes Mario, this pattern is fun!
I did this in the same green DK wool/mohair blend that I used for my Faux Spanish Lace #2. This wrap used around 1200+ yards (four full skeins) and it measures about 8 feet by 26 inches blocked. I treated myself to some nice Addi Turbo lace needles (size 7 circs) for this project. They really are nice needles and as speedy as they are it still took me about 2 months to do. Mostly because I had limited time to work on it and I had to put it down for a couple of weeks because I needed to work on something else before I went crazy. So, in my ample free time this past week (I'm currently unemployed) I finished this up. I wish I had the knack for awesome photography that others here have. I also don't have a good place in my house to display something this large for good pictures.

UPDATE! This was given to
UPDATE!
This was given to it's recipient last night, my best friend Ame. She cried (tears of joy and gratitude, of course). We went to her daughter's school play last night and she wore it. She was the belle of the ball!
And why wouldn't she be?

What a beautiful shawl, you've done a great job.
Great work. The pictures
Great work. The pictures show the knitting very well. And the color is wonderul to boot. Keep it up and you bring up a point - sometimes a project does need to be put down for a period of time so it does not drive us crazy. Plus we usually have several other unfinished projects wanting attention. If the weather is right you can wear the shawl to Rhinebeck in October. I already have my hotel reservations again. We will have to aim for lunch again. Any others going to be there in October are welcome to join the meal.
Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! Lovely color and pattern!
I think your photography
I think your photography looks just fine! You managed to display the stole in several ways - including that great shot that shows the knitting closeup. Maybe not the most "artistic" shots - but very good for showing the knitting itself. Sometimes art isn't the most improtatn thing.
there's a book due out soon on variations of Feather and Fan (Myrna Stahman, I'm pretty sure) which I have been anticipating for years.

Beautiful, and I too love
Beautiful, and I too love the color. Natural mossy greens are my favorite greens. As far as photography goes, there are clear shots that show the detail of this piece. That's perfect in my book. Great job on all accounts.

I am working on a very similar shawl for my wife. I'm using alpaca. It is lacy, but the "hair" of the wool hides some of the details. I'm too far into it to quit now, but I think I would use a different yarn next time. I'll post a picture when it's done.
the thing to do with the
the thing to do with the fuzzy yarns is go up a couple sizes in needles. That way the halo doesn't obscure the lace.

I love feather and fan. My granny knitted it into almost everything. This looks really good and I very much like this shade of green. Hope you find work soon.
