Good call on the shirt. That's not vain, that's styling. Going to all that work then hiding it against a dark or matching backrgound would be criminally insane. So very, very well done. Congratulations. That is what a shawl should look like. Good call on the shirt. That’s not vain, that’s styling.

One of these days (ha) I might get time to spin,or knit, maybe both. I always love t see what people do with the fiber. And this is an especially wonderful treat! I'm with the writer who found amazing what one can do with two sticks and caterpiller spit! Best, Nancy Hi Juno,

I've had that pattern for a while, but have been overwhelmed at the thought of the lace. This just may inspire me to start up though! Absolutely gorgeous!

It's interesting to see that you only put the foam squares at the mid-point and the outer edges. That's clever, I would have made a big rectangle, wasting time and possibly squares. And doing it on the dining room table? Priceless tip, thanks (and my back thanks you, too). I seem to remember you were worried about the dimensions, but it seems it came out perfectly sized. Did you make any adjustments, or was it just a function of using your own yarn? It is magnificent, as everyone has said. I’m about to start the same pattern (w/commercial yarn).
