So the purple shawl is being cast off......It is taking days and days to get all the stitches bound off.  I am ready for it to be done. 
The ruffle is not what I expected, as it is smaller and more ruffly than planned, but I think it will look pretty regardless of the discrepancy between the vision and the reality! 
Soon though the ruffle will be done and I can weave in the ends and then show it off!
