Me and You ...and You and Me

I finished my Mystery Knit Along Shawl. It ended up much bigger than I expected.  I chose to knit the large size without fully considering how big it was going to be.

Here it is , pinned to my foam tiles, drying after blocking it.

Each of the tiles is 24" square, and as you can see, I had to bring in reinforcements!

Here is a closer look, before it was blocked.
Now I just need to weave in the ends and it is ready for spring.

I wonder what I will do with the 84 gm of red yarn I have left over. I had to buy a second skein just before I finished it.

In case you missed it, my Radiant Orchid Tablerunner is finished, and can be seen here.
