Practice Shawl

As most people from knitting know... I'm working on the Aeolian Shawl from Spring 2009 Knitty. So far things are going well. I wanted to make a practice one because I think it would be a great thing for me to wear at the reception for my wedding.

I'm making this shawl in Knit Picks Gloss Lace. It's a great yarn!! I love working with it. I'm also using size 6 beads instead of 8. I've already decided that for the wedding I'm not going to put beads on during the yucca chart. Just too many beads that will be directly on my shoulders (Beth was right...it is rather cold)

but anyway! Here are some pictures of my progress. I get to start working on the next chart!! My 12 repeats are complete! Hope you enjoy!

I will use my imagination, because the pictures aren't there. It's ok, since I've seen the shawl at Knitting.

Nice pictures. From what I remember, the actual color of the yarn leans more toward green than toward neutral, but the picture shows off the beads very well. It's lovely.
