I plan to enter this in the garment competition at MDSW (Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival). I really don't expect to win anything since it is such a huge event, but I still think that it will be a good experience.

that looks amazing! will be praying for the entry.
Absolutely gorgeous! You should be very proud.
It is STUNNING Carissa! And you did that with two small children?!? LOL...I can't even knit with two small cats around the house ;)
It is just so lovely and I'll bet it gets a very close look by the judges at the show!
Hugs, Cary
It's beautiful! You should be really happy with the way it came out.
Oh my! That is stunningly gorgeous! I think entering it is a fantastic idea. I'm sure you'll do well. :)
That is GORGEOUS Carissa!! Well done!
How beautiful! Now that's a masterpiece!
Carissa!
The shawl is magnificent!! Really, it takes my breath away.
Hey Carissa - I finally got a few minutes to cruise thru my bloglines and see your new photos! This shawl is breath-taking. I love Kinzel's work - my first will be the Rose of England. I joined the KAL last year, but never managed to get started. :) Oh well, I have plenty of time to get that done, as soon as I finish everything I have on the needles now.
