Shawl update

I've been working on the shawl that I posted originally here.  After starting over once, I feel more comfortable with the pattern and the results now.  The yarn is quite fine so I think I'll be at this project a while!

This is another card for my exchange.  While I made it to be a birthday card, it could certainly be for any occasion.  I love the herringbone paper and the tiny pom-pom trim.  The pearl glued inside a button is unique too.

I kept seeing this shawl advertised on Facebook so gave in and ordered the pattern.  There's just something so classy about the design.  Well ... I received the pattern and it will definitely be a challenge for someone who is self-taught.  I chose the same charcoal grey yarn so we'll see if the finished product resembles anything close to this picture!  If you're interested in giving it a try, visit here.
