It blocked out a lot bigger than I thought it would- I thought it would be more scarf than shawl.

I knit it on #6 needles, so it's not terrible warm, but I've been wearing it almost constantly since I've finished it.

(yes, we got snow. lots and lots of snow.)

I want to re-block the scalloped edges (I ran out of pins, but I could have just used a length of yarn as a blocking wire to pull them out). I am in love with the yarn- it's Malabrigo sock in Botticelli Red. It's perfect- one of the sexiest vampy reds I've ever seen. I didn't even consider taking the time for a gauge swatch and ran out of yarn on the second-to-last row because of it. A second skein was rushed to my door and it was quickly made use of, which means that now I have an additional 400 yards of Botticelli Red to deal with. Whatever will I do?

A matching set perhaps?
Genmaicha Mitts by Kristen Kapur, that would be a perfect complement!
