Wing of the Moth! Blocked!
You all came here today for photos of the finished Wing of the Moth Shawl, right? Well. Never let it be said that I disappoint my readers.
Oh. That’s not what you had in mind. So sorry. Truly, I submit that photo as proof that the shawl was worn to dinner on my birthday. It’s also proof that Sam Adams Oktoberfest 2006 has arrived. Woot! Sadly, there are no other modeled shots, for various reasons including photographer availability, weather, and general laziness. You’ll have to be satisfied with these.
Here’s the specs because I know someone will ask.
Pattern: Anne’s Wing of the Moth Shawl
Yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool Silk in Charcoal
Needles: Addi Size 3
Started August 25, 2006 and finished September 20, 2006. Before Cheryl. Just saying.
The Twin Leaf pattern is my favorite part.
Then again, I love this Corona Edging.
Honestly, though. This one is my favorite photo of the bunch.
Happy now?

Let me be the first to say, it’s beautiful!
It’s just lovely, congrats on a stunning finish!
Gorgeous shawl!
That last shot actually resembles a moth wing! Such a pretty shawl.
Oh, yes! Very happy. Thanks.
WOW!! It’s wonderful.
Oooooh that turned out great!!!!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking! Gotta find some yarn for mine:)
Why yes, I am happy now, as you should be. It looks great, I really love it in black, and I wasn’t sure I would. How big did it come out with the Zephyr?
Very pretty!
It’s fabulous! Sounds like you had a very nice weekend and a good birthday celebration, too! Way to go, grrl!
I got to touch it! The shawl is lovely, Carole, as was lunch. Your taste in straight jacket yarn, however, leaves a lot to be desired.
Wow, it’s great! I am very impressed.
Congratulations, Carole!! It’s gorgeous. Will it come to Rhinebeck? Will I be able to touch it, too???? ; )
Beautiful. Does she avoid cedar wood blocks or lavendar being a moth and all?
That last shot is fantastic! Love it. The Zephyr has gorgeous drape; I hope mine will too because of the silk in the yarn.
Well done.
I know I’m one of many to say that your shawl is absolutely gorgeous – I can’t wait to see it modeled!
Hey, nice job! Now, what about the straight jacket you’re picking out apparently tasteless yarn for?
It’s just beautiful! I am so impressed-KF&B is not my favorite stitch to say the least.
Wow Carole!! It’s so beautiful! I really have to make a shawl just to be able to wear something so beautiful. Maybe this will be the one?! Congratulations – it seemed like a speedy finish to me. 🙂
Beautiful shawl! Very stunning in a darker color. Enjoy!
She’s a beauty! Every woman deserves a gorgeous shawl to drink beer in, don’t you think?
It’s so gorgeous in person, too. The drape, size and softness are so wonderful in the Zephyr.
It’s really beautiful. What a treasure you have created.
Beautiful and great color!
It’s so beautiful Carole! The yarn is just perfection and the knitting, suburb!
Your shawl is beautiful!! I love it.
Absolutely beautiful, m’dear ;o)
Yes, very happy. 😉
It’s so beautiful. Now we need a shot of you wearing it.
Carole, it’s beautiful! I hope one day to complete a shawl. I have Ella on the needles right now and it’s in time out. Too many stitches on those needles for me at the moment.
I made some American chop suey the other night–it was delicious! Thanks for the “recipe”. Or formula. =)
Quite satisfied, thank you 🙂 Really, it Gaw-geous. I love that last picture of it floating in the breeze too. A work of art.
And Sam Adams has an Octoberfest beer???? Must get some.
Ahhh, it’s so pretty…… Well done, Chica!
Gorgeous!
Thought of you last night at the Crane Brook; specifically, thought it would be cool to have a knit gathering on the deck overlooking the pond, with a waitress to bring us beer. Expensive, but cool.
It’s beautiful Carole! Every time I see one of your finished shawls I want to get the pattern myself. Now I’m adding Wing of the Moth to my list. My Swallowtail should be finished today, so there will be room on the needles for another shawl! Hmmmm. . .
Oh, and that Octoberfest looks yummy!
Gorgeous!
It’s really lovely Carole! Glad you had a good birthday and a finished shawl to boot!
Very happy. Thank you. The shawl is gorgeous. I’ll bet you both had a great time at birthday dinner.
The shawl looks beautiful. May I ask what the finished measurements were after blocking? I’m using the same yarn and size needles and am curious as to what I could expect.
Gorgeous! So glad it was finished and blocked for birthday wear!
It is just lovely. Well done you!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
The shawl is beautiful. Yours is the first one I’ve seen that wasn’t knit with a mohair blend yarn, and the pattern shows up so well.
I’m going to assume from the half-empty beer glass that you had a great birthday dinner 🙂
Very happy. Thanks! It’s lovely.
Beautiful! A photo of you modeling it would be a very nice bonus 🙂
Gorgeous!
That is truly gorgeous! Love that corona edge too, it goes so nicely with the twin leaves.
mmmm, beer!
So pretty! Brilliantly executed, the whole thing. (I would be even more impressed if you had opened the Sam before finishing the shawl, but I think you have your priorities straight.)
Wow that beer really looked….sorry! The shawl is beautiful! Great job!
I’m late to the party, I see… but oh, is your shawl ever fabulous! 🙂 I love the way it knits up in Zephyr. Well done! And congrats! 🙂
I am absolutely happy, and love the one with ol’ Sam too, although I agree that the last one is the best; great shawl ambiance. The details of this shawl are so fantastic, and I am always in awe of your laceknitting abilities.
