Sursa Shawl

I finished my Sursa Shawl on Monday night. It took quite some time to knit the ruffle around it. I had so many stitches on the cable needles to make it ruffle. It took an entire hour to knit one row on the ruffled edge. The pattern called for 6 rows. So that was 6 hours alone just on that edging. The shawl itself knit up rather quickly. I would say I started it about a week and a half ago or so.

Here is the link showing the picture in the knitting book that made me want to make this pattern. http://bp2.blogger.com/_u3OGGys858o/R04DNhtc8XI/AAAAAAAABMk/XIKAe9FpnsY/s1600-h/sursa_pg36.jpg
