Finished!

I took the shawl with me to Complex Weavers, and by working feverishly on it on the plane and this morning when I got up, I got it fully complete, fringed, and wet-finished by noon:

I’m VERY pleased with it, and will be wearing it tonight for the Complex Weavers Fashion Show.

Complex Weavers Seminars has been delightful so far – getting to meet a lot of the people I’ve been corresponding with for years!  The first seminar, Su Butler speaking on tied weaves, was fantastic, and has inspired me to try tied weaves next.  I’m eagerly looking forward to the others.
