Except that I should perhaps have moved the lawn chair before photographing on my lame deck.
So. Orenburg shawl Pattern: Gossamer Webs Design Collection, Galina Khmeleva Yarn: Skacel Merino Lace, color 36, just over 2 skeins

Oh my, appropriate words escape me!
But if it's for yourself, I hope you feel just wonderful whenever you wear it!
Thank you for sharing the experience of making it.
Oh. my. god. It looks fu***** gorgeous! totally worth the wait. the sunlight really captures the shine of the yarn. I hope you'll drape it around yourself and take some more pics. More pics!
Thanks, y'all! The sunlight's a little misleading, because the actual color's a bit warmer than this looks... the sun was so bright it bleached out the color a bit.
In fact, that's why there are no pictures of me wrapped in it. I tried, I really tried! But the timer only does so much when the light's not right.

It is gorgeous. I like the contrast between the harshness of the deck and the delicacy of the lace! Congratulations on a job well done!
