Icarus takes flight

I finally finished the Icarus shawl, and it's a beauty!  I took it for a little test drive on Easter Sunday to see how it would "perform" and how it would be received.  It was comfortable and warm, and lightweight.  I want a shawl of my own now for non-winter mornings when it's a bit chilly.  Everyone who saw it just loved it, and most people were amazed that it was hand made.  That was the best compliment I ever got.

This is the first shawl I've made that  came out a big as it was supposed to.  I think it has a lot to do with the cast off.  This shawl uses a very stretchy cast off and if I had my Shetland Tea shawl, I'd redo the cast off so that it could grow to full size.

Hopefully, Cristina will love it.

WOW CAMBRIA! That really does look like it came from a store (an expensive store.) I wish I could see it in person!
