Icarus is done but for the blocking. I finished the knitting sometime last night. The cast off was fun (I'd never done this one before) but took a lot longer than I thought it would. I ended up adding beads to the patterned areas and along the cast off edge. Hopefully they will show after blocking. Right now they are hidden.
I hope to block this within the next few days and will post pictures of the finished shawl. In the meantime, I started the Swallowtail Shawl from the new Interweave. It's a breeze after the long rows of Icarus.

Ooh, I can't wait to see it blocked! It's yummy!
it's perfect. I almost wish that it could stay ruffly, like the unblocked version.
I noticed Swallowtail too. What kind of yarn are you using for that?
it's gorgeous!
Lovely! I just finished mine too, and have the same ruffles at the moment.
I can't wait to see the blocked version of yours. The colors are so different than most of the other finished ones I've seen!
What's the yarn that you are using - it looks gorgeous. And I am toying with the idea of beads on the edge, too - let us know what it looks like all done, please! ;)
Can't wait to see her bloom!
What great color!
