beautimous!
Absolutely gorgeous! You just knit that up so quickly and here I am still knitting the darn edging on my dragone shawl. ;D
HUGE difference between this easy, SMALL shawl and the large, intricate dragone shawl Michelle! Give yourself a break. You could knock off this little shawl in your sleep.
Wow, it's gorgeous. And three days? Double wow!! (It takes me that long to turn a heel. LOL!)
Absolutely stunning!
Look at that! Gorgeous!!
Love it! Very pretty.
Are you still thinking of dying it? It looks beautiful the way it is.ht
I knit on it rather obsessively over those three days Dave.
Let's just say that I haven't ruled out dyeing it some time in the future Jodie. For now though I am leaving it as is. I saw a blog recently (I've forgotten whose!) where the Peacock Shawl was handpainted with some kind of thickened dye. It looked fabulous. I may try that some day.
Really beautiful! I just started mine with seasilk. Do you have any advice for the nupps? Everyone seems to have their own technique for those.
Jenn, although I was not a member of the knit-a-long I found some good advice on the matter of nups here:

I went with this suggestion which was submitted by "turtlegirl".
"Oh, and as for the nupps - I went with the slip 3 p2tog psso option. Much neater and less aggravating than trying the p5tog or the crochet hook method."
Stunning! And in three days...wow I'm so impressed! It looks so beautiful on you! :)
Beautiful!!!
