If I had only known earlier how much fun it is to make shawls I would have given it a try long before. I do like the challenge of making sweaters, joining the different parts into a unity, but it is also nice not having any seaming to do, very few loose ends to take care of and no real worries about size.
Comments on my previous post made me smile and laugh, not least christinelaennec's suggestion the curtains had morphed to match my sweater :-D Thanks, everyone!

Amazing! (just as usual, hehe)
I have become a shawl addict!
And I totally get your feeling about wanting to wear them but I keep trying to convince myself that it would look maybe a bit too weird! ;)
How big is it?
The shawl is gorgeous. And why shouldn't you wear it? I imagine it would make you feel wonderful having such a beautiful creation around your shoulders on a chilly evening. We've all seen pictures of priests and bishops in lovely lace. And the name suggests it is made for a Prince.

Rod: yes, I thought you were a shawlcoholic too! (A word I didn't coin but picked up from a Swedish knitting blog, "Stick å brinn".)
The shawl is BIG: the middle star section (border included) is 110 cm or 43 in high, and at the widest point it measures 150 cm or 59 in.
Ron: Thanks for the suggestions - and for your kind words! (But I'm not sure which I feel less like, a bishop or a prince! I used to smoke a brand of cigarettes called Prince, though.)
Den är så vacker, och du har sådan uthållighet i dina projekt.
Jag bugar!
This shawl is beautiful, congratulations. I dream over for a long time and I dare not do it because I'm a little scared!
again congratulations.
this blog is very interesting.
