I finished binding off Icarus last night and decided to go ahead and block it today instead of waiting until Monday. The bottom picture is how much yarn I had left. I came really close to not having enough to finish. In fact, I skipped the last two rows of the last chart, just to save yarn.
I’m so thrilled with this shawl. I’ve made tons of them, but up until now I haven’t made one I wear and I think I might wear this one. I’ll have post-blocking pictures Monday.
Have a good weekend!

Your shawl looks great – you did a great job of figuring when to skip rows to have enough yarn.
Your Icarus looks gorgeous! I’ve bought some Misti Baby Alpaca in black to make it. I’m just trying to finish up a few small projects first, but you’re making me want to go and cast on now!
