After about a month of knitting, the Virginia Shawl is complete! I actually finished the knitting of it about a month ago and haven't found the time to block it until now. It definitely needed to be blocked, to show off the rows of lace edging. FYI: Spreading out a shawl and pinning it to foam boards with two children running circles around you is a daunting task!
It's a bit bigger than I expected, but I am absolutely in love with it. The Dream in Color Smooshy yarn was perfect in this project, and from my stash.
Later on, I'll make this again for my mother, also a "Virginia" (as her middle name.) Hers will be in natural and tan variegated sock yarn that she chose from HER stash. (hooray for stashbusting!)
