I took your collective advice and hard blocked the Shetland Shawl. It does look better, a bit of the hump at the neck line has relaxed. After looking at other Shetlands around blogland, I see that really there aren’t any points. I worried needlessly. Here she is. And for Laurie, a close up of the beads.
That should do it for The Shetland Shawl.

Judy, it’s fabulous. Really, really. And those white branch things are so pretty!
Ack, those plants are *inside* somewhere! Did they do that inside?? Brrrrrrrrr.
Nice shawl BTW :-).
Your Shetland is beautiful. I like the silvery little trees too.
Fabulously knit and blocked! Thanks for the close-up on the beads!
Thank you! I’m putting it in the knitting data bank, seeing how the cognoscenti do it.
It’s quite luscious.
Oh, the loveliness!… 🙂 The little beads are such a nice touch. I’m knitting Swallowtail now and am greatly tempted to follow your example, if I can find the right sort of beads for it.
Wow what a beautiful shawl. Fabulous FO! Are the white branches decor? They’re lovely!
…wow..what a difference the blocking made!
she is awesome! between the colors and the pattern and the beads, it is a delight to the eyes!
I love the beads….such a perfect finish!
The hard blocking was the ticket. Looks fabulous!
