I loved this project. I even loved the three nights it took to crochet the edging. I loved the endless knitting on the ruffle. I loved the silk. This is a perfect summer shawl. The drape is fantastic.. well.. it IS silk. As I’ve said in the past, the key to this project was deciding to use the Russian Join. After that, everything was simple.
Because I enjoyed working with the silk so much, I am beginning, immediately, the Wings of the Swan Shawl. I haven’t worked out an edging. Maybe another ruffled one. Never having been a ruffle kind of person, I was surprised at just how much I liked it. One thing is for sure, I’ll be digging through Barbara Walker’s books, searching for the right one.
I have been on the go, NON-STOP for the past week. Just a bit of knitting each evening. Tonight, I’ll start joining the ends and winding the balls of silk for the Amazing Lace.

It looks just beautiful! Everything–the style, the color, the craftsmanship . . . gorgeous.
Beautiful :o)
That is truly a perfect summer shawl. Beautiful!
Oh my…it is so beautiful. Everything about it is perfect. Very, very nice work all the way around.
BEAU~TI~FUL
It’s gorgeous, Judy. And just so *you*!
It’s lovely. Are you making Children of Lir or the Wings of the Swan that was in Inknitters awhile ago?
I was tres impressed when I saw the lovely colors, but you CROCHETED?!?! all of that edging. You go girl.
Exquisite.
Beautiful!
Ohhhhh… how perfect is that? And I know how the ruffled edging goes – I did one on a shawl earlier this year and it is soooo perfect for some of those hot sticky days. What’s the big deal about crocheting an edging? I am more impressed about knitted edgings on crocheted garments (wink).
Very Nice, and the ruffle makes it dressy. Can’t wait to see it in person.
I love the way the color changes evenly throughout. Tres Elegant!
And you said you don’t crochet!!! Tsk! Tsk! It’s lovely…
The shawl came out beautifully! Isn’t it a great pattern?!
That’s a beautiful shawl – beautiful color – it looks great!
This is so amazingly gorgeous, everything is just perfect and you did such a fabulous job with it! No wonder you’ll be continuing to work with silk, it’s mere heaven to work with, isn’t it?
That is exquisite! I love the way the colors merged and blended together. The drape is fabulous. Three nights for the ruffle, eh? Uh oh. (I’m seeing the future unfold before me.)
Wow – it’s gorgeous! It must look beautiful on you.
Beautiful, I think the time spent on the ruffle was totally worth it, it really adds so much. Love it!
Spectacular shawl!! did you make up the pattern or is it available??
All’s I can say is OMG, that is stunning! Love it, love it!!
Oh Judy. You’ve gone and done it again–another PERFECT shawl. I love how the directionality of the lace pattern works with the very gradual shading in the yarn. And the edging is exactly right–just fancy enough for the simple design. Bellissima.
Just beautiful. I’m not a ruffles girl either and I love the ruffles on your shawl.
