(Just because it's small doesn't mean it wasn't a triumph)
Pattern: Leaf Lace Shawl, by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Knitpicks Shadow in "sunset heather", 1 hank. (note: this makes for a $2.50 project)
Needles: Size 3 Inox Express circular
My main problem now is figuring out what to do with the darn thing! My sister and I had a campy photoshoot over the holiday weekend and came up with a few options. What do you think actually works?
As a headscarf: Tied snugly and worn with sunglasses, for driving in a convertible? As a babushka?
Tied around the neck: Folded a bit, doubled 'round the neck, and loosely tied. With the point in back or front?
At an angle: Around the hips, like some strange knitting gypsy? Or around the neck, sort of askew?
On a dog: very fetching indeed!

It's lovely! And if it helps at all, I have the same problem with working through discouragement on a lace project.
Those are hilarious poses, especially the dog. I like neck - either point direction.
Hooray for your accomplishment!!!
oooh, I like that color a lot. It certainly looks just wonderful on your dog too, but I think it is best around the neck with the point in the front actually - very cute. or the jackie o look for a convertible...
The shawl looks great any way you wear it! It's so versatile :)
love the shawl with the point in front.
and the head wrap for convertible driving.
Definitely with the sunglasses and convertible. Especially well suited to your trip out west.
Beautiful! I like it as a headscarf the best.
I think it looks fantastic, great photo shoot!
