Shawl Love

A sweet young thing that I've known since she was in middle school is getting married next month.
 
I offered to knit her a shawl and found a lovely pattern on Rav.
 
She said yes!
 
She came over on Sunday and picked it up.
 

She plans to drape it over her shoulders for the 'get-away.'
 
There will be more photos of her with her dress and shawl.
 
But mostly - she'll bunch it up and wear it as shown above.
 
Young cute girls - they can get away with so much, can't they?



Pattern:  laminaria
 
With mods per:  Little Green Dragon (deets on Rav)
 
Yarn:  Rowan Kidsilk Haze
 
Needle:  US6 / 4.00 mm
 
Time Frame:  March 12 - 31, 2013
Happy Sewing!

    What a beautiful gift! Isn't Laminaria a gorgeous pattern ? It's in my queue (or my favorites) but Lord knows how long it'll be before I actually get to it LOL
    oh, and how did I miss the last dress, duh ? Love it ! No wonder you got a ton of compliments, they were well deserved, for sure.
