I am pleased to report that my shawl is complete! I am very much in love with it. It went from a scrunched up object just off the needles:

…to a lovely elegant piece of lace:

The yarn can not be done justice by the photos – there are so many subtle colours (click through for a better look).

It looks lovely even draped over a chair (though the chair could be nicer, I’ll admit)!

All the work was totally worth it. I don’t normally do projects on a deadline, but this seemed well within the scope of reality, and I’m glad I was right. Truth be told, I’m feeling a little lost now since it’s no longer obvious what I will knit when I get home! I am dying to cast on another shawl now because this was just so fun. I have three I’d love to make, and I have lace yarn to make two shawls. Just need to wind the yarn and do it I think!

I have fallen out with my Kelso Lace Cardigan yet again. I had to rip out another 10 or so rows, so it’s not AS much as before, but I’m getting entirely too annoyed with it. I want to throw it in the naughty basket, but I’m rapidly noticing that I put projects there and do nothing about them. Last year’s lace disaster is still there, as is the Tilted Duster. New stuff is so much more appealing though…hmm.
