FO - By the Skin of My Teeth

I finished crocheting this at midnight on the night before Matt's wedding and had it on the blocking board by 1 a.m. I really didn't think I'd be able to finish it in time, but I did! I love the colors and the texture; it's heavy enough to drape, but very soft - and the sparkly gold is part of the yarn so it doesn't shed like glitter would. Marie was kind enough to model it for photos. I think this one is going to be a favorite.

*Tech specs: Pattern is Perfect Spring Shawl using about 275 yards (of a 550 yd skein) of Blue Heron Rayon Metallic yarn in "Chocolate" and an "H" crochet hook. I added a single crochet border along the top edge to stabilize it. This yarn is as wonderful to work with as it is to look at.
