Celebration Shawl complete!



I finished up the knitting and blocked the stole to it's glory yesterday. I absolutely love this stole. The knitting is straightforward, and the lace pattern is very pretty. The yarn is a custom colorway that Scout of Scoutswag dyed for me. It's her merino laceweight. The stole is a smidge narrower than the finished dimensions as stated in the pattern, but I think this is because the laceweight I used is lighter than the laceweight called for. I think the simple lace pattern looks lovely with the colorway though. I'm quite pleased.

Those are such cheerful socks. Nice work. The pronounced scallop around the top is great.
