ICARUS IS FINISHED!
It took me nearly two months of solid knitting to finish this shawl and I gotta tell you, I am about sick of it!
Here she is pre-blocked.

Pinned out in my bedroom.

Here is a close up of the edging with beads. Just don't make the same mistake I did and forget to put a bead on the center back. I added it during the cast off row because there was no way I was tinking back 2.5 rows!
Now I have to figure out a new project to knit until my Sock Swap yarn arrives. Oh well, I have to finish sewing bags today so...that should take up most of my knitting time.

Beautiful! I love the beads in it - you even managed to match the colour.
I'm definately not ruling out knitting this again, and if so, next time I'm doing the beads.
Yes, I almost never knit the same thing twice, and I already had the thought, "well, that's a shame, since I love this shawl, but I just don't think I'd finish if I did it again." But now the idea of BEADS has changed EVERYTHING. Plus, I think I need one in a very, very pale misty pink. Seeing everyone's shawls on here, I keep going back and forth, deciding at one moment that this thing is especially spectacular in the dark, rich colors, and then I see another and think, wow, this shawl was born to be pale and airy and ethereal. There's no answer for but to make two!
