It is smaller than it should be: 160x40cm instead of 190x60cm. I used 3.5mm needles, I should have used 4mm, it would have looked more open. But I am not going to knit another to check that! I think it took me at least 60 hours to knit this shawl.

Myrtle Leaf Shawl
My first lace project! I finished it on Tuesday evening. I was determined to get it blocked that evening so just before midnight, I was crawling on the floor to iron it as I haven't got enough pin needles (also, I didn't like the idea of having spiky bits around the shawl because of the needles).
