A shrivelled little blob like this:
which was mistaken for an afghan on Wednesday night,turns into a beautiful web like this:

This is truly the fruit of my labors, since I also dyed the yarn. Follow this link to details about the pattern and the yarn. It's my Finished Object page, which I hadn't updated for a while.

wow - it's gorgeous!! I love the way lace blooms all at once, don't you?
good luck with the ear-healing. i've been there. it's no fun.
That's beautiful, I love the color. I just finished a DFS too. Mine was started over a year ago. It really is a great pattern and shouldn't have taken me that long, but I but it dowm for about 10 months and just recently picked it back up again.
Oh my goodness, that is gorgeous!
I'm glad you're feeling better.
What a lovely shawl! You have inspired me to pick up my once-discarded Shetland Tea Shawl.
GLAD THAT YOU ARE FEELING BETTER (I live with a hearing impaired man, I understand how you must feel!)

Very pretty! I have that pattern in mind to do *someday*.
