I just finished this shawl today. It is just like the one I made for my SD's graduation last month. It is huge, and even looks good tied at the waist.It is from this book:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11798&item=8197967888&rd=1

My daughter is modelling it, but it easily fits up to a size 2X

Nice job, I have this book, should make that shawl!

You should, Deneen. It takes hardly any yarn, and it looks so nice. It is mindless to do, too. A good travelling project or tv project. It looks different just by changing the yarn. I love the book, and think I might try one of the ponchos next.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I will relay them to Brittany too:manyheart

That is my (nearly) 21 year old. She is a ham alright. This is a great pattern to make for a first project...so simple, but great results. Thanks everyone for your kind remarks.

It's gorgeous and so is the model :) I made one and it started looking so big so I made it half the size and it's too small it's being used as a valance in my room.
