As I become more and more obsessed with lace shawls, it occurred to me that I don't know how to wear one fashionably. This video helped immensely! I highly recommend it.

That moment when...
You email your mom a picture of her finished shawl, and she comments that the picture looks like something "out of those fancy knitting books".
You then reflect on just how many pattern books you must have forced your mother to look at in order for her to be able to reach that conclusion.
You then decide that she is extremely qualified to make that judgement, and then tell yourself for some time just how very right she is.

Cavallo Point
My mom's shawl is done! I used a lighter yarn than called for, but it still blocked out a full shawl and not a shawlette. I hope my mom likes it!
The first and second pictures show the color the best. The yarn is silky soft with and a fantastic color. Actually, it was the only yarn I paid full price for in my order, and it was definitely worth it.
The pattern was a great travel knit. I memorized the pattern on the seventh or eight repeat, and I never tired of it. I was actually going to add a few more repeats since I had more yarn and liked the pattern so much. I followed the pattern in the end, and I would definitely use this pattern again.
