Absolutely beautiful! And great post/pictures too. :)

Thank you, and thank you! ^_^ A friend of mine helped me take the modeled shots.

So pretty! And it's great that you are already wearing it all the time. :)

Oh, you couldn't keep me away from the thing! It already had looked pretty good before blocking (garter stitch background on the pattern, so no curling), but the blocking helped so much. It's very warm, and quickly becoming my favorite fall accessory.

Thank you!

That is gorgeous! I love the way it looks with that jean jacket!

Thank you! Oddly enough, I agree with the jacket choice, I've been wearing that shawl with the stole a lot.

I wish I hadn't been wearing two different washed of denim when we took the pictures, but that's beside the point ^_^

that is beautiful great job.

and i love audio books. i used to work doing photo correction, and we would listen to audio books instead of music.

Thank you!

I've been poking around Amazon.com to see what they might have used, and my library. They really are great.

have you heard of librivox? abbytrois November 11 2006, 03:20:18 UTC

That's lovely. I may have to give this one some more serious thought :)

Thank you, and I would thoroughly encourage you to make this shawl! I had a lot of fun with it, anyway.
