As I said the other day, this shawl was not my favorite to knit. By the end, the rows seemed unbearably long. The stitch pattern utterly failed to keep me enthralled. But I've never knit a shawl I thought I would wear more than this one. It will be warm, soft beyond belief (cashmere yarn), and simple enough that my plain-jane self won't feel like I'm wearing a costume. Thanks again to that marvelous designer, Miriam Felton.

Beautiful! I love the last photo.. now I've got to get to work on mine!
It's just gorgeous! Congratulations on such fantastic work!
so very beautiful
Lovely! And that last photo is great. You look as though a very tall person has just complimented you on that fetching shawl.
Just lovely!!!!! It looks so soft, even in the picture. You sometimes can't tell from photos...but you can in this one. Nice work!
Some things in life are more than worth the trouble! That's lovely, especially the drape. -Syl
Hannah, it is stunning! I love the understated gray you chose. The last picture is a great one of you too :)
Beautiful Seraphim!
Did you use laceweight? I have this pattern and began it last year but didn't like the yarn I was using. I keep wanting to try it with laceweight rather than fingering. I'm curious as to what yarn you used.
It's really, really beautiful!
It's gorgeous!!
OMGosh, what a truly beautiful shawl, wear it with pride, it's so lovely.
After seeing one pic on the Lace Shawl KAL, I had to see your others. It turned out beautifully and the color is fabulous. I used a wool-mohair mix, and I also think that mine will be a shawl that gets a lot of use.

Oh so lovely. I have an Icarus on my to-do list. Just have to decide the right yarn. Congratulations on a lovely item.
It's really lovely!
It's a beautiful shawl Hannah. I'm working on mine now. I can only hope it looks half as gorgeous as what you knit.
Lovely, just lovely! I especially like the babushka shot at the end there. ;-)
Gorgeous! Really nicely done, and a beautiful color. Even if it was boring to knit, it does seem more practical than a fancier, more "interesting" one!
I love the shawl and the colour and it is so beautifully knitted. Congrats!
