FO: Peacock Feathers Shawl
I finished my peacock feathers shawl. I used the yarn called for in the pattern, the Jaggerspun Zephyr in sable. I love this pattern, but I wasn't too thrilled with the finished shawl. My gauge was so off! The final measurments of the shawl is 98' across and 55" from top to tip. It's about 10" longer than the pattern says. I used US 3 addi naturas (which is smaller than the US4 needled called for in the pattern) but I guess I'm a loose knitter. Here are some photos:
I'm 5'6" tall -- see how there's about 8" hanging from my hand.

Wow! That's an awesome shawl. Look on the bright side. Because it's so big, it's beautifully fine.
