Finished Frost Flowers and Leaves!
And here's my finished shawl (the silver thing at the bottom is a 12-inch ruler):
Here's the usual closeup:
The specs:
Pattern: Frost Flowers and Leaves from Gathering of Lace
Needle: Size 6
Yarn: Lane Borgeosesia Baruffa Cashwool; 2 skeins, so under 2920 yards, light blue
Size: about 70 inches by 70 inches (in other words, really, really big!)
I've wanted to do this shawl ever since I got the book Gathering of Lace. So, I've finally finished it. I started it at the end of October and finished yesterday, so it took about 4 months. It was a repetitive knit, but not so much that I could do it completely mindlessly. I did really have to pay attention to where I was. I love it as I usually do. I still need to sew in some ends which I should be able to do tonight at my weekly sit 'n' knit.

It's just beautiful - congratulations for finishing such a wonderful project!
It's gorgeous! It's a shame to have it on the floor! Get on a fancy dress and wear that thing! ;)
Wow. Congrats!!
I just love it! I bought GOL to make this shawl too. Some day soon I hope to cast on. You did a fantastic job! :)
Breathtakingly fabulous!!! What an accomplishment.
It looks fantastic! Great job : )
How do you do it? :-) Seriously, you are the Queen of the Gigantic Lace Projects. And you even manage to finish them in a reasonable amount of time!
This one is magnificent. 3000 yards of laceweight... respect is due. ;-)
An outstanding job, as usual! It is so beautiful. How about a modeling shot??
Of course it's Gorgeous, you know that. Congratulations on finishing that beautiful shawl.
Oh my goodness! This is absolutely beautiful. I opened up the close-up picture and got a good look at the stitches and pattern up-close. What beautiful work. I know you must love it. Great job! ENJOY! (and what a LOT of laceweight yarn, too.)
Alison,

Hellooooooooooooo? Are you still out there? I hope everything is ok...
It really is beautiful; it looks different than I expected from the picture in the book, so thanks for posting.
Did you double the Baruffa or is it really that thin yarn on 4mm?
Elegant ... congratulations!
