This first shawl in today's update is the Sun Ray Shawl (Ravelry link) by Elann. The shawl ended up being longer than wider for me, but I think it worked out okay for a throw around the shoulders kind of wrap. This was sent to M for Christmas and I haven't heard back whether she likes it or not.
The second shawl is the Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn Clark. I used beads instead of the nupps and really like how it turned out. Am- really liked it also. She called me the evening when she received it and thanked me which I greatly appreciated .
There are two photos of the Swallowtail, one so you can see the beads and the second to see the overall effect. I will definitely make this shawl again!The picture of the last scarf/shawl I made for Christmas seems to have gone missing. Kar, if you would have 'bug' take a picture and send it, I would appreciate it.
I'm off to enjoy my last weekend of vacation with my knitting needles and spinning wheels. Enjoy. Happy knitting and spinning.

More pretty shawls! I'm hooked on knitting them too. :)
Wow you sure have been busy, I've just been lazy the last couple of weeks, shame on me! Those shawls are lovely and I'm sure they were loved greatly. It's the middle of January now and I just keep thinking 6 more weeks and it will be almost spring!!! I LOVE spring and am not so much into winter ;).
All the hats and shawls turned out great! Beautiful work!
