...W.I.P. Wednesday...the Wedding Shawl...

...true to my usual M.O. ...I finished my wedding shawl at 12:15 AM the night before the wedding...Mom and I sat chatting waiting on Scout to come home for the last time EVER...
...I used the same blue/green bead mix that I'd used for the shawl I wore to my nephew's wedding...but added some plain navy coloured beads to the mix...and threaded them onto thread that I only used in the rows where I was adding a bead...in the last valley of the fan on each 4 row repeat...

...and you see that tiny little ball of navy yarn...I love it when that's all I have left at the end of a project...
...at the top of the shawl I went back and added 3 rows of single crochet to make it a little bit sturdier...
...I was pretty pleased with my makeshift fan pattern...using part of the pattern from the Yes, Yes shawl...
...on the final row of the fan I added a bead after each double crochet...
...it's a long 2 foot by 6 foot rectangle and it's kinda hard to photograph...
...and I loved that the final row of beads on the bottom edge added a little bit of weight to the shawl and made it drape nicely...

...still no photo of me wearing it...but I'll post one if I can find it...

...what's in your workbasket?...

~Have a lovely day!

    Your dress looked gorgeous and the shawl, I bet, would be the extra touch.

    I am crocheting 2 baby blankets for my 'incubating' twin grand babies. We now know a girl and a boy, as my friend calls them, a pigeon pair!

    The shawl is beautiful!! If you can't find a photo of you wearing it, you're going to have to put the dress/shawl on for us and get the Man to take a photo! Your readers are waiting....

    Love, K
