It's Shawl Done

Yes indeed, it's shawl done. I wish I could say that it's perfect & I adore it, but...

.
I was too excited to finally be casting off to closely inspect the final couple inches, & I found a couple funny stitches. I guess that's what comes of knitting in the dark. (The majority of the final knitting on this puppy were with El, in the middle of the night; or in the bathroom, with Am, conversing about the wonders of the toilet.)
.

I'm overall pleased with it though. It's only the third full-size shawl that I've knit, and now that I think about it they were all garter-stitch... Hm. Perhaps I am more of a masochist than I thought. Anyways, this is the first one that didn't have the Faroese shoulder seaming, & I'm missing that.

I do like the length:width ratio - it's got a good wingspan but skims around my waist in the back. (Pose cleverly hides all milk residue on my shirt.)

FYI: pattern is Shawl That Jazz by Samantha Roshak (Rav link), using Filatura Di Crosa Zarina in "Tulip Fields". It's a DK weight that I ordered from Elann, and required some math-fu on my part as the pattern is writtern for, erm, something different, and heavier. No, I err. I just checked. It's written for DK, & the Zarina is a sport-weight. Either way, I started it in June, and am happily wearing it around my (cool) house.

(If you think I look a little cross or tired in these pics, you will be correct. Never fear; I'm only a little the worse for wear these days, and I know that the cross is one of the attractive accessories the Sleep Deprivation Fairy drops off. B1tch. I hate her.)
