Oh how fun! I hope she loves it! I actually laughed right out loud at your “Heh!”. I love a good surprise. Woo hoo!

It’s lovely–I’m sure she’ll be thrilled.

It’s such fun to be sneaky! 🙂

You Sneaky Devil You!!! That is gonna be an absolutely beautiful shawl for her and sure to keep her shoulders warm and her heart glowing! Will keep an eye out on her blog for the post where she has received such a sweet gift fro m a loving friend!

The colors just swirl! I’m sure she
will be thrilled.

It is so beautiful and what a thoughtful thing to do…I’m not sure which is more fun…to be the one surprising or the one surprised. 🙂 Best wishes to you both.

How beautiful it is1 such a lovely colour. I am glad lene finally let slip!

Now *that* is absolutely lovely!!!

the shawl is beautiful, both pattern and yarn. what is the pattern? i just ordered your book!

The pattern is oh goodness let me think, it’s a one-off… I started off with I think it was the smaller Water Turtles shawl, or at least one of the ones with a 6+1 pattern, and then when I got down to the main body I substituted in Barbara Walker’s Diamond Mesh lace pattern from one of her stitch treasuries, which is a 12+1, after carefully checking the math to make sure I’d get a complete set of 12 at both edges.
