Another photo of the shawl, from slightly further back. In this photo the center of the top of the shawl is slightly left of the bottom of the photo. The tip of the triangle is at the upper right of the photo. I need a longer cable on my circular needle to lay the shawl out in its proper shape.
Now it may seem that I haven't made much progress on my shawl since I last reported and I really haven't. I had something else to do. My dear niece, The Best Niece In The World or TBNITW (not that I'm biased or anything), sent me some beautiful hand-painted rayon chenille yarn. This part of it hadn't traveled well and I hadn't treated it carefully enough when I took it out of the box and looked at it. Chenille has so much twist in it that this yarn had really snarled itself up, with only a little help. So I found an end and untangled. And untangled. And untangled.

Your shawl is beautiful -- I love the colors! The colors of the chenille are lovely, too; it'll be fun to think of something to knit with it (now that it's untangled!).
Hi Mary,
I came over from Knitting Linguist. I agree that the chenille is lovely--wonderful colors! Somehow the word 'pillow' jumped out at me when I saw the yarn. (Not to influence you, though)
I too am from SoCal so I knit with yarns other than wool in the summer.
