It's been five months (four of knitting and one motivating myself to block and weave ends) but the competition shawl is finished.

Take a quick look at how I decided to weave in the ends of the cotton four ply on a lace patterns.

And of course stick around until the end to see the finished results.

The pattern is the Acalypha shawl from Expression Fibre Arts and it's beautiful!

Let me know in the comments what I should knit next. I have a fair amount of cotton yarn left over...
