Two FO’s in one post, go me!

Extra yarn arrived, shawl finished.  Finally.

It’s still too short for my tastes so I’ll likely never use it.  I don’t have time to do it now, but I’ll add the specs here and to Ravelry when I get back from my visit to Small Town.

I tried and tried to knit the baby sweater out of scraps.  If you counted all the swatches I made you could say I’ve knit this little thing twice.  Especially considering that when I got to the second side, I realized that I left out a repeat on the first side.  Or so I thought, now I’m not so sure.  Being as I haven’t actually ripped that one out yet, I’ll go back and verify if I did or didn’t leave out a repeat.  But, because I had to order more KnitPicks, I also ordered some yarn to make the little sweater in a solid color.  It only took a couple of days and I finished it before I tackled the bind off on the shawl.

The ties aren’t on it yet.  I’m taking it with me to Small Town tomorrow to see if daughter wants a loop and button, or the ties that are in the pattern.  I do plan to make this again, only I’ll use the multiple colors.

I need your help.  Tell me which picture best shows the shawl on your monitor.  On one computer, one looks better.  On the laptop, the other one looks better.
