Well here it is blocked and finished. The model is of course not my mother but my friend Al. I gave the shawl to my mom on Sunday and she loved it. This was such a fun project and learned a bunch of new stuff doing it even though it's a pretty simple pattern. The pattern is from Folk Shawls.

Always nice to be able to

Always nice to be able to judge size of a shawl from the pictures; though usually the shots on a model don't display the pattern as well as a flat shot.

*grin* any problems getting the shawl OFF the model to give to your Mom? She looks pretty comfortable with it.

MMario - ambiguity is cultivated, it doesn't happen in a vacuum!
