forever shawl

My Beloved calls this The Forever shawl.  The reason is that it contains two skeins of Mountain Colors lace yarn.  That is about 1500 yards.  And it took me about two years.  I started it at home but I took everywhere.  It went to an earth plaster workshop with me.  It has traveled across country.  It went to work.  I worked on it on and off for two years.  It is actually the same pattern as the red shawl that I posted about a few months back.  But a much lighter weight.

The body is single crochet.  I started with three and add two more every row.   It just took a long time to grow.  When I had used over three quarters of the yarn, I started the edging.  It is a five shell double crochet.  

I started with five double crochets, moved over two rows and put in two single crochets and then repeated.  All the way around.

I like how it turned out.  The yarn is a silk wool mix so even though it is very light.  It is very warm.  But then I do have the tendency to wear shawls!
