Friday night, this was the scene:
Note that it is blocking on a queen sized mattress. I think I could use a king size in the future for blocking.
A bit more detail. There are pins across the top, down the center, and in each loopy thing along the sides.
Drumroll...
With a little help from Patricia, Mary, and Chris while at the bead store, we managed to take this picture. I photoshopped out the background. But the loopy things wouldn't stay flat.
A woman there asked if I made these for sale. Well...I'd do it if I judged you worthy. This is kind of like how a bank runs a credit check...this is a worthiness check. Patricia's answer to that woman was, "Do you have $10,000 lying around?" Yeah. I loved the lace, but it is time consuming and detail oriented.
But putting this on for the first time, I decided that I must make another one.

Wow! What a great shawl. I envy you so much that you can bead flowers AND knit like a "lunatic"!!! 10,000 Dollars! *lol* Seems to be an adequate price. My mother knitted large table cloth in the past. They look similar. They are really gorgeous. Like this shawl!!!
I have been trying to knit again recently. But I don't seem to get it. Now I have ordered an English book. The German ones don't seem to be that helpful ...
Wow. That is really, really beautiful.
Judy, that is amazing. You did a gorgous job on that shawl.
