Pattern: Euphrosyne by Kirsten Kapur of Through the Loops. It's all-over lace with a lovely knit on border.
Process: Very straightforward and enjoyable. Although I am just noticing now as I'm looking at the photos that I've not done a very good blocking job! See how all the little points on the edging are, well, pointy? If you look at the photos on the pattern page, each little yarn over all along the edge has been blocked out completely, giving it a slightly more scalloped, consistent look. I, however, used blocking wires, threading the wire through each point only. Darn it. I really should re-block it.
Yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool Silk. I bought this during my first visit to Kanawah City Yarn Co., a really awesome LYS in Charleston, WV. I love the color of this yarn. It's very raspberry. The yarn is light and airy, but not skimpy. I just loved it and would absolutely use it again. Plus, I think ti was about $13, and you can't beat that. Well, I mean, you can, but why would you?
What I learned: That I should double check my blocking process.
Product: I love it!

I love the set up of this post, it's a great way to analyze the pattern and your skills. That shawl is amazing! It looks so intense, but elegant and just gorgeous!
