Faroese Flower Shawl

I just finished the Faroese Flower Shawl by Lucy Neatby. I used Knit picks dye your own fingering weight yarn and dyed it with koolaid.
this was my first faroese shawl and it was a fun knit. As suspected it is a bit too small for me. The back panel needs to be wider and I need a bit more coverage in the front. It is still to be blocked so maybe that will help some. It just might be a Christmas gift for next year. I will post photos as soon as I can get hold of my daughters camera.
