Bind off complete 3/28.

The blocking might be a few days away, I still have to block my sweater.

Blocking on 4/1/10. Yay!

I love this shawl, I love the yarn and I love the way it stays on my shoulders. I did find the increases on the edge to make the edge really kind of tight. If I were to make it again I think I would do yarnovers on the right side and the kfb on the back.

Does anyone that has knit this shawl find the long edge with the increases to be sort of tight?
