Cap Shawl Pictures
First of all, it is really difficult capturing this shawl. The modeled shots weren't really all that great because you couldn't really see the shawl. The blocked shots don't really show the color well or the beauty that is this shawl. I took well over a dozen pictures and still wasn't completely happy with any of them. It really is a gorgeous shawl and even worth every darn minute of the edging. I'll try to convey a little bit of how pretty this shawl is. First blocked:
I'm not used to not using my blocking wires. It took me a while and I didn't have a single pin left over. That's right, I had exactly enough pins for every point. I didn't have to brave the basement hoping to find another one.
Details:
Pattern: Cap Shawl from Victorian Lace Today
Needles: Size 6s
Yarn: Cashwool
Size: around 60 inches which is smaller than in VLT, but I used smaller needles.
A little more on what's next later. (Mainly because I'm really not sure what's next myself. I need to find something to work on before Sit and Knit tonight.)

Oooh. I think you captured the beauty of that shawl just fine. It's gorgeous!
Wow. Just... wow. :)
Gorgeous!
Chris took my immediate reaction. It's breathtaking! And aweinspiring! Great work!!
It's lovely Alison!
I miss you, you never visit me any more! :(
gorgeous! i love that shawl - it's one of several from victorian lace today i really want to knit - if i'm ever brave enough!
That is truly stunning! Love it.
Looks as if all the superlatives have been taking. It really is beautiful. You did an amazing job blocking it. I haven't done a circular shawl and getting that exact circular must have been challenging. Can't wait to see what you do next!
WOW!! What an incredible shawl! Amazing work.
Oh, pleasepleaseplease do show us the modeled shots, even if the details are hard to see... I'm so curious to see how this beauty looks when unpinned and unfurled. :-)
p.s. Where do you get the stamina? ;-) I'm thinking about doing this one or the hexagon shawl, but I wonder if I'd actually make it to the end or not.
Oh wow that is simply gorgeous.
Very beautiful! This shawl has beaten several knitters; I'm glad to see you vanquished it.
Beautiful! I hope to see it in person one day! (but I'm missing guild this month -- poot!)
It's gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
wow, that's beautiful
Awesome... just awesome. You are an incredible lace knitter (but we knew that already, eh?)
Gorgeous!
Nice work, babe!
It's really lovely! Great job.
