Psalm 103:2-3 Dear Lord, Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for me. Don’t let me forget that you are always blessing me whether I notice it or not. Thank you for forgiving my sins, and thank you for healing me. I trust you and love you, Lord. Amen 詩篇103:2-3 親愛なる主よ、 主よ、あなたが私のためにしてくださったすべてのことに感謝します。私が気づこうが気づくまいが、あなたはいつも私を祝福してくださっていることを、私に忘れさせないでください。私の罪を赦し、癒してくださってありがとうございます。主よ、あなたを信じ、あなたを愛します。 アーメン

I finally finished this shawl! It’s from my favorite knitting book, Victorian Lace Today.
It’s knitted in the Lost Lake colorway of Knitpicks.com Shadow laceweight yarn (if you’re on Ravelry, you can see details by clicking here).
I guess I wasn’t really thinking, but the book says it should be blocked to a size of 21” x 76”. I ended up blocking it to 22” x 89”. But even if I blocked it to the published size, this shawl is way too long for me—I’m only 5’2”, and I have short legs for my height.
So I’ll probably give this away. I don’t know if Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference would do this, but I wonder if they’ll let me donate this for a silent auction at next year’s conference?

You're so talented. I tried knitting a scarf years ago and never finished...
The shawl is beautiful... I would love it- why not use it in one of your weekly giveaways - only if you pick my name, of course ;)
Instead of giving it away, why don't you try figuring out another way of using it?

Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. Visiting family, trying to sell the house, etc., so I just now got caught up.
That's absolutely beautiful craftmanship, or in this case, maybe knit-womanship? :P
I second Honey. You could try googling different ways to wear a scarf, but if you can't find anything you like, I suppose you could always use it as a table runner, lol
Blessings!

I love to crochet but have run out of anything to make, have made all my family everything they want.

But you're right--that's enormous. I'm 5'7" and I can't imagine what I'd do with a 7½ foot shawl. Makes a nice runner for the hallway, though. :)

Why don't you donate it to Brenda Novak's next Diabetes Auction?
