I have no clue as to how I’m going to properly photograph it. It’s magnificent. If I thought it wouldn’t detract too much from the shawl, I’d go to the wedding wearing nothing but this beauty. The beads are cool against my arm and gently remind me of their presence. The yarn is soft. It’s (amazingly) light. It’s perfect.
Anticipation
as a form of procrastination.
Oh, those pictures are beautiful. What a sophisticated shawl that will be!
Oooooooo!
I love your pictures!
Wonderful, wonderful pictures. I especially like the first one.
Gorgeous!!! I may just jump on the black shawl bandwagon after all! Thanks for the inspiration!
wowie zowie!
Damn Cara- That’s alot of black lace. Are you sure you didn’t go blind? It’s beautiful.
The shawl is breathtaking. I cannot wait to see the whole thing after it dries!
Your pictures are always such a pleasure to view.
Gorgeous. You’re such a tease 🙂
Wow. Just, wow. It is stunning.
Totally perfect. Look out for me, hiding outside your door… 🙂
Wow, that’s a stunning shawl. It doesn’t matter what dress you wear.
Totally gorgeous and stunningly beautiful. That’s one of the best ”why we knit” garments I’ve seen. You will look beautiful.
That is so fabulous. No matter what you wear underneath (although SOMETHING is probably a good idea) or how many chocolate chip cookies you eat for breakfast (although personally, I think brownies go better with coffee) you’ll upstage everyone at the wedding with that gorgeous.
And on an unrelated note, I could sit here are reload your page all day to look at the photos on top change. That is too cool.
Incredible!! Don’t go upstaging the bride 🙂
And you were considering another repeat . . . mess with perfection?! This is stunningly, sumptuously GORGEOUS.
That’s absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!!
She’s absolutely beautiful. You will receive many many compliments.
