Wedding shawl begins

I have started my peacock wedding shawl in Jaggerspun Zephyr (merino & silk) on size 4 needles. This is the top center of the shawl. I'm on row 55 of 250, but you increase 4 stitches per row, so while I have just over 100 stitches per row now, you end with 495 stitches in the last row! I decided to count how many stitches I've done on this shawl, and now I'm up to 2,913 stitches! I'm afraid to calculate how many there are in total just yet. I have until July... =)

Here you can see what it will look like when it's done (except in white)! I also went to Stitches yesterday and got some very yummy yarn! I'll have to take pictures and post them some other day (along with the rest of my stash!).

You will love the Peacock Feather shawl when it is done. I know I love the one I did. It took me almost 6 months of on and off knitting (I have two small children, and multiple knitting projects going on) but it was so worth the effort.

I looks wonderful Margit! I'm finishing up Flirty Ruffles and will definitely do more of the Fiddlesticks' patterns.
