And does it fit through a wedding ring? :)
Posted by: Janice in GA at June 17, 2007 08:25 PM
I have no words that can do justice to how beautiful your WRS looks. I also want to know if it fits through a wedding ring.

It's stunning, a real work of art! You must be so proud (and relieved) to finish this one. Beatiful colours, too. Is this the 28/2 laceweight?
Posted by: dawn at June 19, 2007 09:32 AM
OMG! I had previously written some praise on Flickr, but it is such a wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous shawl that I had to comment here as well. Congratulations you deserve all the good words I have read here.
Posted by: Ühltje at June 19, 2007 10:27 AM
I saw a picture of the shawl on Flickr. It really caught my eye and I had to come and see more! It's just so beautiful.
Posted by: commonplaceiris at June 19, 2007 11:25 AM
wow... you are quite the celebrity knitter with this one! i know nothing about knitting so, i can not truly appreciate how big of an accomplishment this is. but, judging by the response here, i would say you have done something special. well done!
btw... Mad started dance this week and is LOVING her dance bag!
Posted by: Roni at June 19, 2007 12:05 PM

oh it turned out so nice! i love it! what size needles did you use?
Posted by: heatherly at June 19, 2007 04:52 PM
Absolutely spectacular. And many thanks for photographing it being worn. Most of these shawls I see finished are spread out or draped over something...actually seeing it on is a real treat. You get a good idea of the transparency, the ethereal quality, and the size. Congrats.
Posted by: Susan at June 19, 2007 08:55 PM
Exquisite, inspiring, simply gorgeous.

I can only repeat what has already been written but wanted to get my "simply amazing" in as well. It is simply breathtaking. Congratulations!
Posted by: becky at June 20, 2007 06:26 AM
May I join the paean of praise for an unbelievably beautiful shawl. It is my ambition to one day knit that pattern - but I've got a lot of work to do to reach that standard. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration.

Keeeee-ripe!

Posted by: Asaknitter at June 24, 2007 02:20 PM
Congratulations. That is absolutely gorgeous. You did a beautiful job. I'm kicking myself for not ordering that pattern before the end of the run. You wouldn't want to sell the pattern????
Posted by: Risa at July 13, 2007 10:26 PM
That is the most beautiful shawl I have ever seen! I was just browsing wedding ring shawls when I came across your blog. I have only been knitting a year or so, and you are truly an inspiration to me. Wow! Gorgeous!
If you don't mind, I'd like to add you to my blog!
Happy knitting! Maybe I'll see you at MD sheep and wool!
