The Milkweed Shawl is done (scroll down for yarn details), but I warn you (should you decide to make one of these) the term "shawl" is an overstatement on this one. It's really a scarf, and would look good over a lightweight turtleneck sweater, or tossed loosely over a coat, but a shawl? Nope, not when it's made from sock weight yarn. If you want a real shawl, up the yarn weight and you'll have one!
See? NOT a shawl.
That being said, the work was enjoyable and relatively easy to work on while riding in a car that was going cross-country. The hardest part was trying to find something to use for a lifeline. Little towns do not, as a rule, contain local yarn shops. Went to two places in some small town in some state (they are all blurred in my memory right now) and found nothing. Next small town, nothing. Next small town, a dollar store, where I did finally find a ball of crochet thread. Bingo. Thanks, dollar store!
