Finished!
This is why I have the best husband in the world.
Blocking is so hard for me. I always have a hard time making everything even and this shawl had to be blocked a certain way. And crawling around the floor is even harder for me. Brian is great at blocking! Who knew?
A closeup of the stitches and beads.
I really love this shawl. The pattern is easy and very well written. The beads are put on with a crochet hook every 4th row. A little time consuming and kind of tough on the pads of my fingers. They are subtle and add just a bit of shimmer to the shawl.
Hopefully it will be dry by bedtime (gotta love the dry air here!) and I'll wear it to SnB tomorrow night. I don't care that it will be 105, I'll look great!

Now, you certainly have an amazing husband, how absolutely lovely it is of him to do the blocking for you! Great man! And I really love your shawl, it turned out so very beautiful - the pattern is so gorgeous, and so are the colors that you used! Great job!
The shawl turned out so beautiful and to have a DH that helps blocking is even better!
It looks great!
That was very sweet of Brian to pin it out for you!
Now, send him to NY to give my hubby lessons. :)
re: tattoos...I have 3 in total. The butterfly is on my ankle, a violet on my right thigh, and a very tiny little heart, uhm, above the pubic area. *blush*
It's gorgeous! How sweet is your hubby for blocking it for you. I don't think I could get RM to do the same!
Beautiful. You would be remiss if you DIDN'T wear it to SnB. We will all be so happy to meet it in person.
He secretly wants to learn to knit.
The shawl is beautiful. I have been dying to try something with beads. This might be just the garment.
Incredible - your shawl looks absolutely beautiful!! Wear it with pride (even as you melt in the AZ heat) - you did a great job!
