Nuptial Shawl - Q3 FAL

My Nuptial Shawl - A Q3 Finish!


My (not-so) little brother got married recently, and I found the dress early on, but knew I'd want something to wear over my shoulders.  On my quest for a shawl pattern, I stumbled across the Echo Flower Shawl in a ravelry thread discussing the best free patterns that people would have paid for. Perfect!


It was wonderfully written, easy to memorize once you got the first bit of each row going.  And, the shawlette used less than a skein of Malabrigo Silkpaca.  I am so pleased with it!




It's also a wonderful example of the magic of blocking.
Before
After
 I'm out of unwed siblings, so I guess I need to be taken somewhere fancy so I can wear it again.


This is project 2 of 10 on my Q3 Finish Along List!
