Oceans 11 Peasy-Easy Scarfy-Dealy

The completed shawl somewhat laid out, showing the variegated blues, greens, and teals of the yarn giving it a tropical waters vibe.

Notes & Photos:
My giftee like the ocean and this colorway is very oceany :) And she's a knitter so she will appreciate it :)

11/08: Have 11 points done :) Going quite well. Will definitely have it completed in time to mail it by the 28th :) 

11/12: Despite a minor set-back due to a muscle being overstrained and not being able to knit as much as I'd like, I have 15 points completed :) Am thinking 18 and then begin the decrease half :)

11/24: Finished this Monday night at knit-night :) Turned out perfect. Will get pics up of the completed scarf and what I had left from the hank; there wasn't a lot!

Not sure of the dates the photos were taken:
In progress: the shawl with not much left to knit!

In progress with only 6 points of the edging knit. The shawl edging and body are knit at the same time in this pattern.

The very small ball of remaining yarn left after finishing the shawl. It only weighs 2 grams!
