Unpinned!

Pattern: Wing of the Moth, by Anne Hanson
Yarn: 2/14 Alpaca Silk, from Webs. I got a 1/2 lb cone of this and used less than half of it.

I love this shawl. Love it. The pattern, the yarn, everything about it is perfect. I may be the last to finish, but I think it was worth the wait.

It is so beautiful! I love your photo shoot setting - makes it kind of dark an halloween-y. I also can't beleive how much it blocked out - looks so much more open than when it was in progress.

It's wonderful! I never get tired of seeing this shawl. And yours is much bigger than mine. Can't wait to see it in person, Cheryl!

That color is stunning. I recommend stapling it to your body before wearing it anywhere near me.

Definitely worth the wait! Absolutely gorgeous, Cheryl! I'm assuming that you used the alpaca silk straight from the cone? (Instead of the insanity of unplying:) Because I've been thinking about doing mine in the alpaca silk, too.

Your shawl is so beautiful! And, in my favorite color too...Loved the photos...what a great place for a photo shoot...it is a perfect spot for remembering back in time to the women who would go pay their respects in their lovely hand knit shawls.

You finished, you finished!!! And it's SO lovely! :-) It's a splendid color (darker than I remembered--or is that just the camera?) and a comfortable size, too.

YAY! :-)

Target is in Sommersworth. Exit 9 from the Spaulding, take a right. Continue for about 1.5 miles. On the left side, next to Home Depot

Its just fabulous. I'm still emotionally drained from their grand opening last night *grin*

Wing of the Moth is beautiful Cheryl! You did a fabulous job. Love the photography. Very interesting choice of venue...smile. Your hair and the color of it is stunning or should I just say you are looking gorgeous.

Beautiful! Such lovely work. And GREAT photo shoot. You are distressingly photogenic, and know how to pose the FO to best advantage. And I stop short: A cemetary??

Stunning, Cheryl. Just stunning.

I love the setting you chose for the photos, too. I'm a sucker for old graveyards.

I've been liking the looks of Wings of the Moth on all the blogs, I just might have to knit it myself one of these days.
