This is a detail shot of the lace on the corner of the shawl, which is a Shetland Hap Shawl. These were everyday shawls that Shetland women actually wore, not the fancy delicate ones that they sold. I thought about doing a cable pattern with this yarn, but it seemed to want to be a shawl, so I went with it. I now have seven shawls, which may seem excessive to anyone who is not me. That is one for every day of the week. A friend suggested that I should stop now, since one for every day of the month might seem like overdoing it. But one for every month of the year perhaps???
