It's Done It's Done!!

I finished my shawl last night and here are some pictures. As you can see, my pets show an interest in knitting, sometimes not a very helpful one. My cat was attacking the Malizia every time I had to knit a band in. And the dog keeps trying to sit on my shawl which I just finished blocking (you can see her eyeing it in the picture). When I finished the shawl, I was afraid it might not be big enough but now that it's blocked it looks like it should be OK.
I was able to pick up some fantastic deals on yarn, patterns and supplies at the craft store nearest my home (the chain is, sadly going out of business, another victim of large souless box stores) so I have no shortage of new projects to try.
