Moonflower - Finished!

I finished the shawl almost a week ago, but didn't block it until the weekend.  I added beads to the center of the lace motifs, although my first attempt did not get them centered vertically and I had to shift them one at a time as I worked across the row that they really should have been on.  This involved stopping at each bead, dropping down the stitch, pulling off the bead, pulling the stitches back up and putting the bead back on.  Fortunately once I figured out which row they really should be on I got them right the first time on the second diamond.  I also did an I-cord bind off with color A.

Blocking wasn't hard, but getting a good picture was because of the size and shape of the shawl.

Moonflower - Clue 3 Done

I finished Clue 3 at least 2 weeks ago, but never got around to posting.  In fact it has been almost three weeks since I last posted.  Things have just been crazy busy.  At this point I've actually finished the shawl, but that will have to wait for the next post.
