I promise human modelled shots after next weekend - Amy, I'll be at the Frolic early, and Tuscany and I will be looking for you!
Specs:
Tuscany Shawl, designed by Amy Singer, from the book, "No Sheep For You"
Handmaiden Sea Silk Yarn - Silk and Sea cell. Colourway unknown, but a mix of silver, blackish grey and copper. I love how the shots of silver and copper appear as waves across the shawl - this pattern really highlighted the colourway much better than the Melon scarf, which was it's original use. I used 1 full skein, and about 1/4 of a second. There is enough left for a small scarf.
This took me a little more than a month? (she says questioningly, not having any idea when I started...) Let's see - Amy came to our Guild at the beginning of March, I started it after that, so maybe a month and a half, with other projects thrown in.
I would make this again - nice pattern, easy to memorize, lacy, but not too fussy. I may actually use the pattern for a straight scarf with the remainder of the Sea Silk for a gift, since the pattern complements the yarn so well.
Now, I guess I should concentrate on Son's new sweater. Or maybe some socks. Oooo! Lucky picked me up some new Socks that Rock! Maybe a scarf from Arctic Lace... Ahhh, back to my promiscuous knitting...

Wow, that's amazing!!! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. It's gorgeous! It even looks good on the chair.
Fabolicious.
It's really beautiful Sandra!! I hope to see you (and your Tuscany) at the Frolic.
Wow, fastest shawl ever? It's beautiful, I really want to grope at it a bit. Okay, a lot, I love Sea Silk.
That's gorgeous. How do you knit so fast?
