Haruni Shawl

Original Pattern: http://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/Haruni_Shawl_Pattern__D50869220.html

My first shawl, and my first attempt at lace. This took months and months to finish. It was a gift for a professor who'd helped me a great deal while I was at university, so I wanted to invest some time in making her something beautiful that matched her style.

My original intention was to give it to her at my graduation, but it was nowhere near finished by then so I ended up sending it to her in the mail. Because of my weird mental block around crochet, I did the edging in a slightly...unconventional manner, but it was very well-received nonetheless.
