Green Shawlette - Done!

I'm not going to lie - I'm very proud of this piece of knitting.  It's my first attempt at knitting lace, and while not error free, I am very happy with how it turned out, over all.  The pattern is called Ginger Leaves.  I found it and purchased it at http://www.knitpicks.com/.  While a bit confusing at first (I'd never done that sort of cast on before), a couple of trips to the yarn shop for help, some consulting sessions with my mother, and  I managed to get on my way. 


The yarn I used for it is a sock yarn by Three Irish Girls.   I really love the subtle color varigation of it.  It drapes well, and was a pleasure to work with.  I suspect I'll be buying more if it for future projects

That is so nice and you don't mention errors to anyone, none of us are ever going to know.
