The White Moth.....
All the necessary tools are at hand....
Off the needles.....
Close up of the pattern.....
Stretched as far as I could.....
Louet 12/2 Silk Yarn: Lovely
Pattern: Wing of the Moth Shawl - Beautiful
Needle Size: 4 - Oops - Should have Used Size 6
Finished Measurement: 64" X 31" instead of 84" X 42"
The pattern called for 900-1000 yards of fingering weight yarn...I used 940 yards of 12/2 silk...I guess I should have checked the weight before, huh?
I did do a swatch....really! I liked the fabric on size 4...so went with it. It is definitely not as large as I would like...but....the recipient should still be able to wear it...
The pattern is beautiful and I would definitely knit it again....and just happen to have 2 more cones of Louet 12/2 silk....just not right now.

It is ethereal, so beautiful, so perfect on a gorgeous, tanned blonde........she'll tie it in a knot in front and heads will turn as she flits by......really!
It looks plenty big enough to me.... ;)
