It looks every bit as nice as I thought it would.....your handspun was PERFECT for your shawl!! Lovely!

[Christine]

Stunningly beautiful as usual Cassie! I hope you are justifiably proud of yourself! How many WPI was the handspun and about how many oz did it take for this shawl?

[adelaide]

Ah, Cassandra. It is simply beautiful. (Your toes are cute, too.)

[mamacate]

Ah, just gorgeous. Lovely, lovely work. Like you said to me--no going back, is there? I need a good reason to knit with millspun yarn now. No one can make it like you do. :)

[JoVE]

and it looks GORGEOUS.

[Beth S.]

It turned out beautifully. And it isn't even orange! :-)

[Megann]

Wow. That looks so beautiful.

You are now a vertically-integrated shawl-making machine.

[Carole]

Gorgeous!

[Julie]

That is even prettier than I imagined it would be. The homespun makes it even better. And I like the toes for size comparison! I ordered that pattern from Sivia and I look forward to making my own. I have some suri alpaca that is itching to get knit, and I'll be doing a larger one.

[Rachel H]

That is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

[Jessica]

Beautiful shawl, beautiful yarn.

[margene]

All yours! It's beautiful.

[Toni]

It's just wonderful--great job! Everything should be lace!

That is so beautiful !
There's sometyhing really wonderful about creating such gorgeousness with yarn you spun yourself. It is a lovely work of art.

Can I have it ?

No harm in asking !!! :0)

[Jessica]

Oh Cassie - that is truely lovely. The yarn and pattern were a perfect match. I never really liked that shawl pattern before but you are bringing me 'round with those FO shots. Great work. Do you know perhaps roughly what wpi your yarn was for the shawl?

[Cheryl]

What a great yarn/pattern pairing! You amaze me.

[Juno]

Is if fluffy? It looks like it might be fluffy. And silky. How much did you have left?

Needless to say, it is beautiful.

[Liz]

That is fabulous...well done. I also like the toe for scale.

[Mary Beth]

Beautiful, Cassie! You must be feeling mighty proud!

[Judy]

wonderful, there is nothing like your own yarn..
