G is for Grandma's Shawl
Okay, so this post is a little late. I've been meaning to take a picture of this shawl in progress for some time and finally got the pics snapped last week (and then uploaded this morning when I had a little time before meeting peeps for breakfast).
The yarn is Patons Brilliance - very shiny and flowy stuff. I hope it blocks out well because I think the motifs look a little crunchy as they are. However, everyone who sees the shawl in person loves it, so perhaps it will be fine. The edging will be a lot longer once done - I've got a few more rows to go...although I just now realized that since I altered the pattern to use larger yarn and a larger hook, I probably don't have to do as many rows as the pattern calls for. Hm, will have to think about that.
