Peacock Petals Finish!

The last rounds of this beautiful shawl were slow going. Peacock Petals Shawl pattern is free. 

When it was done I put it over my exercise ball so I could get a feel for the resulting fabric. 

I knew it was going to be a monster to block, but wet blocking was the best choice to get that lace to open up.

Here it is blocked. This is why I love wet blocking knit and crochet projects. It lets the lace shine.

This one is all about looks because it is too light and lacy to offer any warmth. 

It is a wonderful thing. Now I just have to figure out who on my holiday gift list is the right person for it.
