A sigh of relief.
I can't believe it's been over a month since I've finished a project.
Flirty Ruffles still needs to be blocked and that will probably be a weekend project.
Project specs : Flirty Ruffles Shawl by Fiddlesticks Knitting
Yarn : Jaggerspun Zephyr in Black
Needles : 3.25mm addis
Started : sometime during summer 2005, abandoned until about mid-June 2006
Finished : August 1, 2006
The body of the shawl became fairly meditative, but the ruffle was a killer. Definitely good travel knitting as it went on, and on, and on. In retrospect, I should have tried a couple of different increase methods for the ruffle. I picked up and twisted the yarn on either side of the center stitch which made for very tidy increases but slow-going.

Boy, that's a pretty shawl. Now I want one, too :(
Gorgeous!!! Nice job!
How many stitches does the ruffle have?
(hehehe)
I'm probably happier not knowing.
That's a big project! Congrats!
Fabulous. Congratulations.
gorgeous!
I know that ruffle was torture to knit, but to an onlooker it was so worth it! Very, very pretty!
I still want to knit that shawl, but not that ruffle. I will ponder it until I come up with an alternative... It's very beautiful!
FR came out really gorgeous in black. Congratulations on finishing the ruffles. You've inspired me to start my own Flirty Ruffles! I'm just torn between what colour to do mine in.
You know, Angela, I think you and I started this about the same time! Mine is still languishing in a basket somewhere. Congradulations! It looks wonderful!
Stunning! Isn't it nice how looking at your beautiful creation makes you (almost) instantly forget how tortuous it was to make? I really admire your perseverance, and envy your FR...
Beautiful! And in black, no less. I just love this pattern, I'm putting it on the "must make" list.
That shawl is really beautiful! :)
