You may remember I posted a pic of a red Valentine's Day shawl I made for my wife. She loved it but wished it had a ruffly edge. So I revised the pattern and doubled the number of stitches per row on rows 105 through 123. This created a very ruffly edge. She loves this one even more.
I used Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool yarn (also better for holding the ruffle than the bamboo used in the red one) on a US size 3 needle. It took about 876 yards of yarn to complete.

Very nice, Rick. A bit too ruffled for my taste but it wasn't made for me. I'm glad it is just what your wife wanted. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
