I'm stunned that it's been so long since I posted. Mostly it's because I spent a month in NY visiting my family. Added to that, I still don't have a working camera but I did manage to borrow one so I could take pics of my most recent FO's.
This is the second Seraphina I have made. The first one I made last year using TLC Essentials and I struggled quite a bit figuring out the pattern. Fortunately the designer included alot of pictures with the pattern so I charted it from those and was then able to easily complete it. By the way, I don't have the first one I made...my daughter absconded with it when I was visiting NY last year. She also received a Sweet Pea Shawl and 2 beaded doilies.
For this Seraphina I used 2 full skeins of Jo-Ann Sensations Rainbow Boucle that I ran across in a clearance bin several months ago for $5.00 a skein. Using 2 full skeins may seem like an awful lot of yarn but I'm tall and wanted my shawl to be long enough to keep me warm during evening walks on the beach once the weather changes. Including the simple chained fringe, this shawl goes just past the back of my knees. It's a perfect length for me and I can wrap the wings over my shoulders and it stays put.
While this pattern can be very confusing at first, once you figure out the repeats it works up very quickly. I am very pleased with this shawl and absolutely love the striping pattern created with this yarn.

Beautiful shawl...came across it on Cvile and I agree: the pattern is a b@3*h to figure out at first...but its just so pretty! And yours looks exceptionally great!
I love it!
@ anonymous: Thank you very much! I just love this shawl now that it's done. This pattern was beyond a b@3*h! It's to bad the author doesn't update it so more people can make it without pulling their hair out first or just plain giving up on it.
Thank you Riohnna! It's a wonderful design once you figure it out and the Jo-ann rainbow boucle I think was made for this shawl.:)
According to Stanford Medical, It is indeed the one and ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos less than us.
(And by the way, it is not about genetics or some secret diet and really, EVERYTHING to related to "how" they eat.)
BTW, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
