Oh WOW. That is fabulous. (if you were wondering who to give it to for
Christmas......................................... ........)I don't think
I would have the patience any more to do something like that.

That is truly gorgeous, Shelagh! Congratulations.... by the way, I'm
jealous... there's no way I would have the ambition to do something that
intricate!

*hugs*

Stunning, just stunning. I love the colour too.

Thank you all so much for the nice comments!

Just in case you were wondering, the yarn is Knit Picks Shimmer, a blend of
alpaca and silk. The needle was a 3.5 mm. I started it back in July, but
very seldom just have one project going. I also finished a shawl last month
that I was working on at the same time, along with 3 pairs of socks. One
pair of socks is almost finished, and they're for a Christmas gift.

I'm so happy that after the 3rd try, this shawl finally worked out. The
first two tries, I didn't like the yarn I chose.

This is not a gift for someone else, it's my gift to ME. (smile). I was
getting a little tired of it towards the end when there was over 400
stitches in a row. I felt good if I managed to do one row a day.
Thankfully, it was laceweight yarn and was light as a feather. ;)

But, but - all the stitches were knit togethers, or yarn overs, or slip 2 k1
psso - that kind of thing. I used stitch markers between the repeats, and
made sure I counted the stitches at the end of each chart. Oh, and yeah -
life lines! ;)

Ooooooo...pretty. I want one. *grin*

That is beautiful, Shelagh! Tell us how you blocked it, as I will
be blocking a shawl this year, if all goes well.

Higs,
