FO - Prayer Shawl

This is the project that inspired me to get serious about knitting. It's a prayer shawl I knit for my SIL, in honor of the 5th anniversary of my BIL's death (which happened on her birthday, Dec. 18th).

It looks so soft. Beautiful color choice, too!

It's gorgeous, and what a thoughtful expression of your love for her.

You're a good sister. I wish I had a sister like you. Lovely shawl

Thanks, y'all!

It was a neat thing to make, though I got really tired of working with the Suri Dream. I think it actually looks better in person than in the pics (the uneven edges don't seem as noticeable in person for some reason). I had hoped to do more of these shawls, but I think I'm going to have to find a different yarn - one that works up a little more quickly and feels good to knit (this one feels good once its knit, but not while knitting).

Thanks for the nice words.
