I can't believe it's finally done! By the end I had just shy of 400 stitches on my needle; the bind-off took over an hour. But now it's done and I have the pictures to prove it!
Here's it is in progress looking very similar to SpillyJane's Shetland Triangle in progress.
Scrunched up on the carpet resembling Ramen noodles
Stretched out looking slightly more like a real shawl. (Notice how little yarn I had left. It was getting a little scary doing the bind-off.)
And finally, its current state, soaking in my sink (in fact, it's soaking in the SOAK I got for Christmas from Heather and Gen!).
Next up, blocking time! Stay tuned for more pictures as I play with my beloved blocking wires.

I thought that WAS Spillyjane's shawl for a minute there.
Can't wait to see the finished product! BE careful with that alpaca, it is weak when wet.
Isn't the resemblence a little scary?!?
I'm definitely not going to block this shawl as aggresively as the last one. I hope it opens up nicely.
nice work lady...and you finished way before your deadline, too! i can't get over how much our shawls look alike in these pictures. :)
It looks better in every picture! I want to see the blocking.
I too cannot wait to see the finished product. I think it will look lovely on you! More pics please! :)
I love the blocking part with lace -- I never get tired of seeing how it utterly transforms the project. Looking forward to seeing your finished photos!
