Simple eyelet shawl

My oldest daughter turns 22 this month, and this year I made her a gift. She's a big fan of black and dark teal, so I knitted her a shawl with those colors. I am hoping she will keep this one for life as it can go with everything. The pattern I used was Eyelet Lace Shawlette however I used a much finer yarn so you can't see the eyelets so good. I used Malabrigo Sock Yarn for the main part of the shawl and for the edging I chose Madeline Tosh Unicorn Tails. Overall, I am pleased with the results.

This shawl sets the record for being the longest knitted project I have ever done. That's mostly because I became bored with it and let it sit in a box for a couple of years. One of my resolutions this year was to finish it, and that finally happened. My intent was to make this very large, but I ended up making it the medium size. The pattern was a freebie by Stephen West, and I used plain old sock yarn by Brown Sheep. This goes really well with my favorite Patagonia denim shirt, I almost feel like a cowgirl when I wear them together, but I'm definitely not one!
