Pink's Done

I said earlier the pink Ashton shawl was coming along and yesterday I finished knitting it.  This morning it got a bath and is now happily drying.

Pink is all pinned up and wired to go

Pink took about 10 days to complete, but there were a couple of days where no knitting took place on her.  I am satisfied with this improvement in time spent.  Having said that, this shawl is smaller; instead of being a bit over 60 inches wide Pink is only 45 inches appropriate because it is going to a smaller person.  

There are many more beads on Pink too.  Beads were added in the double decreases as well as between the yarn overs.  I'm happy the added beads didn't seem to add much weight to the overall shawl either.  

We can see the beads running along the bottom and right side of the photo above.  Again, I am thrilled with the results.  When Pink and I decided to work together good things happened.
