An Almost FO

Done!

It's big. I used all 6 balls of yarn; I've got about 4 yards left! He he, I lucked out. Little miss Flower Basket is big enough as it is to cover me, no blocking required. I had to lay it on the queen-sized bed. Pardon the brightly colored bedding; this was BF's pre-MJ, bachelor sheets that he has been loathe to part with. (And therefore insists on using *all* the time.)

Flower Baskets

Pretty little flower baskets! I would keep the unblocked rumpledness if it weren't for the scalloped edges curling up. Out with the pins! It will be flat, stretched, and dried by Monday! Or earlier. I have ends to weave in (11, to be sure), not as much as Cara's Short Rows sweater (scroll down to March 17 entry)! Now the sweater... *that* was a lot of ends!

The shawl is beautiful - I love them when they're SO big!

(And sometimes I just take out short rows to admire the woven in ends. So proud. ;-) )

What a beautiful shawl! I love the color and it's so pretty. I also love the top-down sweater you made, but couldn't leave a comment there. Great job!
