Really nicely done and I rather like the color of the yarn! It shows off the lacework and looks really soft.

If the auction has a "live auction" component, try specifying that it be part of the live auction. After seeing one of items go for very little as part of the silent auction (under $50), I decided I wouldn't give them any more shawls unless they put it in the live auction. This time, it got $235!

I really hope you *DO* get a good donation on it. My church will NOT ever get a hand made shawl from me - after I watched them knock down THREE of them as a single item - which the autioneer let go for $10, total. Hell - I would have given them $20 and kept the shawls!
