Finished Fridays: Homin Shawl

I made this as a gift/request for my best friend Marcie. The pattern is by Gudrun Johnston, better known as the Shetland Trader. This is one mountain of a pattern. Definitely not for the faint hearted first-timer. She makes amazing things, but sheesh. Good Lord. I didn't think I was going to make it out of this one alive. This is my 4th lace project ever. It was like Mt. Everest to me. I will be honest and say that I made more trips to the “frog pond” (as Julie says) than I can count. And if it wasn’t for Marcie, for whom I would donate a kidney, I probably would never attempt it and never will again. It is flawed, but I am proud of it. It’s mine. And I am proud. And I had better get a pretty big reward. She promised.

P.S. If you have come across my blog more than once, or if you are a first-timer, I encourage you to push the button listing yourself as a follower. It gives me an accurate idea of how many people actually come across my page. Plus, it is great for my self-esteem. And if you like what you read, reccomend it to someone else. And, welcome!
