Shoalwater Shawl

I love the way this shawl turned out. It was a gift for my mother for her birthday and she loves it too. I wish I had remembered to take my camera so I would have a picture of her wearing it, but I forgot. Maybe I can get one next time I see her and update the post.

Anyway.... I used the Shoalwater Shawl pattern from Fiber Trends written by Evelyn Clark (once again - I LOVE her pattern!). I used KnitPicks Memories yarn in Yukon and I was suprised and how closley the colors resembled the pattern! I used my KnitPicks Options needles in size 7. The only modification I did to the pattern was that I did not do the I-Cord edge for the top. I did the picot bind off - and fell in love! I can't wait to use that bind-off again.

Anyway - here are the pictures...
