If you click on the second photo to biggify, you can see the beads. That's as good as I could get for now.

What a beautiful job you did Michelle. I love the color.
I don't knit, I crochet, but that is gorgeous! (Wonder if that pattern could be crocheted?) I'm finishing up a baby blanket today so off to do that -- only four more rows. Hope you enjoy your beautiful finished project.

It looks lovely!
Simply stunning!
I agree with "sheeps", I love the colors... beautiful work! I admire your skills.
That is gorgeous. Way beyond my ability. Combination of color, pattern and execution - beautiful.
(Suggestion: Submit to Spin-Off. I'm serious)
It turned out BEAUTIFULLY Michelle! Lovely color on you as well. Wear it with pride!
Thank-you, everyone! I did enjoy wearing it very much. We may run to the coast this afternoon, so I may try to pull off "casual" with it. (Remember, I'm new to this shawl business!) Yesterday at church several women who were at the women's retreat and saw me knitting on Maia there came up and admired the finished project.
And Deb, I didn't spin the yarn, so I'm not sure Spin-Off would be interested. I do have a subscription now, thanks to a dear friend....
It's just beautiful, Michelle. You did a fantastic job. Love the shawl pin, too.
VERY NICE!
OK...Interweave Knits then!
Looks fabulous! Where it with a strut! :)
It's even more beautiful draped on you than it was before!! I am a bit disappointed we don't get to see your head...lol
Beautiful!!
