Finished Shetland Triangle

I finished my Shetland Triangle. I'm happy with how it turned out. I used Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in color #10 on size 8 needles. It took 10 days to knit. I used straight needles until the 9th repeat of the body section because I'm not that fond of my circular needles and I added an extra (for 9 total) body repeat. I skipped the last (purl) row of the edging chart and the last pattern row because I didn't want the points along the edge. It's about 64 inches wide along the top edge and 26 inches from top edge to bottom point. I have a little longer write up and another photo on my blog.

    I just did some almost each day. I had a Christmas deadline to meet with it. :)

    Pretty shawl in a pretty color. Something like this takes me several weeks to finish.

    How many skeins did you use? I have some silky wool burning a hole in my stash!

    Thanks!
