Sorry to see it fly away

Just a quick picture of the finished shawl:
Today I gave it to a dear friend if mine who has been very dear to me during my ongoing illness. She is a knitter but hasn't tackled lace yet so I'm hoping that this will inspire her. I loved knitting this shawl and love the finished garment.

Yarn: Jaggerspun Super Fine Merino in Marigold
97 grams used, about 1200 yards
Pattern size: tall
Size unblocked 32X72, Size blocked 36X80
Started (and restarted): 7/29/07
Finished:8/13/07

    As beautiful as this shawl looks spread out for blocking, it looks even more beautiful like this.
    Because you're giving this away, perhaps you can console yourself for its loss by knitting the stole for yourself? :)
