Can I share a little factoid with you? It measures 56 inches at the top (from point to point) and 28 inches in length. Why am I telling you this? Because when I drew out the design, I planned it to be exactly those measurements. And it is. I'm pleased and surprised and a bit giddy.
I've decided to name it Anastasia's Alpaca Shawl. Why? Well, I do go weak in the knees for alliteration. Plus, my niece ADORES Cinderella, but it seems a bit vain to name your shawl after Cinderella. So, I picked her wicked step sister; that seemed OK.
The stats:
Anastasia Alpaca Shawl

Started in July 2007

Shelved again in December because Christmas was coming
Finished in January 2008

570 Beads

Beautiful. Congratulations on a fantastic design. Is the color more acurate the camel or the grey? Is that a clasp holding it together? I personally like shawls that size better than the super large variety as they are more wearable.
It's beautiful! Congrats!
YEA! It's SO gorgeous. So pleased for you! Is this pattern going to end up on your Etsy store? :)
