I also finished up this shawl over the fourth of July weekend. This was a fun, easy, mindless project. Perfect for sitting around with family and talking. My sister Virginia agreed it was her colors, but said it needed some black to finish it off, so I ordered a 50-gram skein of black sock yarn from Simply Socks and did a few rows of garter stitch lace followed by a picot bind off. I used the lace pattern from the end of Helen Stewart's Impressionists shawl. It's a reasonable size for a little shawl, just enough to throw over your shoulders or wrap around your neck.
Now I just need to package it up and send it off to my sister.
Yarn: Alcidina Stargazer in Black Eye Galaxy
Pattern: improvised
Needle: US 5 (3.75 mm)
