Here is a closeup of the border. I love this pattern; shoulda done the whole shawl in this. And it was easy.
This is the border shown with the flower lace motif that gave me such fits. Looks deceptively simple, doesn't it? Ha.
This is the shawl draped over an antique rocker. This wicker rocker crossed the U.S. to Indiana in a covered wagon. I inherited it from my mother.
I tried the shawl on and it feels and looks wonderful. Worth every blasted stitch. Securing those dropped stitches with sewing thread was fiddly but seems to have worked. Nobody is going to be allowed to examine this shawl closely, except the border of course!
