Alberta top-down Faroese-style shawl

I knitted this shawl with Henry's Attic 100% alpaca yarn in natural Musk. I used #8 needles to achieve the lace effect. The pattern is from Myrna Stahman's Stahman's Shawls and Seaman's Scarves. I can't remember the start date, but I finished the shawl on 10/13/02.
