Nice job Agnes, it is beautiful. Did you have much shrinkage when you released the yarn from the pins? I did a small scarf years ago and was disappointed with the tension. I think I was just using a fine wool, or maybe it had some acrylic in it. Janice
<Last night I finished a Torchon shawl for my daughter for Christmas. When I started it 2 moths ago, I was not sure whether it would be for Christmas 2011 or 2012, but I did it, and am quite pleased with the result. The material was a mixture of alpaca wool, silk and rayon in lace weight. Not the easiest to work with at it is very slippy and I used standard English bobbins with spangles.
