So long in the making, and finally off the needles. A big hole in the knitting basket eagerly awaits a new project.
Finished and unwashed
Lightly pinned out on a 6 by 4 mat.
Edging detail
Even on a 4 X 6 mat it has plenty of give.
Clearly my mental math trying to figure out how many blocks I need to block was way off, so I will be buying more today, then maybe get it blocked out properly tonight.
She still needs another good long soak, all the greying hasn't gone yet, it may be a boil that cleans it all up, thank goodness I used cotton.
I still can't quite get my head around her being finished.
And yet, I have so many more things going on I barely stopped.....
Princess, completed, October 27th 2007, will she lie in peace now for a good number of years?
No way, she will be dragged out for everybody to meet.

Congratulations! That is a spectacular shawl and an amazing acheivement on your part! I just put my order in for my copy of The Princess Shawl and I hope mine turns out half as nice as yours. Bravo!
Wow! More pictures! Did you enjoy knitting it or was it more of an endurance match?
I am on the list, but maybe I need to put in my order now, seeing as how it is actually possible to finish it!
Envious congratulations!
