Finished!
This was nearly done on time. It was blocked, wrapped and in the mail by the end of January. I had so much fun making this shawl. The border took nearly as long as the centre squares, but it was worth it. I knitted the border on as I went, instead of sewing it on afterwards, as the pattern directed. But next time I won't do the extra rows of edging around each square because, although it did make sewing them together a little easier, I was unhappy with the overall look. I'll go strictly with the pattern's suggested sewing technique for a cleaner look, I think.
But the best part of all was receiving this photo from Tiffany, the new mom, with the baby all wrapped up in her shawl. Made my heart very happy! {=^:^=} (And just look at those fat little cheeks!)
