Blocking was a bit of a challenge and I spent quite some time on my knees pinning the shawl.

I knitted this shawl with 3.5mm circular needles in Touch Yarns pure merino 2ply and used 150gms (1350m or 1476yds). The shawl measures about 152cm across. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and now its is destined to be a birthday gift.
On the stash fund front I can add another $3 because I walked 4 km this morning and did an additionl 30 minutes of exercise yesterday.

the person who gets this is a very lucky gal.

Oh my. It's just stunning. I have pinned out a shawl like that and I know just how time consuming and knee-aching it is. Well done. What a fabulous job.
WOW!! What a beautiful shawl and such a beautiful color and it is unbelievable that it only took 150grams of yarn.
Oh goodness, it is breath takingly beautiful!! I mean wow!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, well done.
Oh Amanda, It's Beautiful. Lovely color. You have done a wonderful job knitting.
Truly spectacular!! Pinning circular shawls out is always a challenge to the knees - but well worth the effort. Isn't it amazing how a "blob" turns into something so pretty with the help of some water and tons of pins.
Give yourself a round of applause, great job!
