Well it’s not stalled exactly, but it is moving slowly. I had actually expected to have an FO post for you by now, but I always underestimate shawls when there’s beading involved. Beading really slows things down (though it’s worth it) and this shawl has a lot of beads
Iv’e only got about 30 rows left, so I’m hoping I can finish it before the weekend. But I’m not making any promises.
Sorry for the fuzzy shot – I was too lazy to go back outside and retake when I realized it was blurry – but as least you can see the beads. Normally, I go for a bead with more contrast, but I had nothing in my stash that would work. These are almost the exact shade of green as the yarn, but with a foil gold centre, so they at least add some sparkle. Naturally, it will all look much better once it’s off the needles and has had a good blocking.

It’s lovely to cast one’s eyes on green, since it feels as if we won’t see any green for awhile yet!

The shawl is beautiful even unfinished! I like the beads you used as the bit of gold adds just a touch of sparkle. Just a little glow among the beautiful green yarn. The shawl will be such fun to wear.

You can’t go wrong with the color–it is looking good and you know that when you block lace, it will make a wonderful metamorphosis!
