I got word, yesterday, that starting Monday, I'm officially promoted. Yay! I had been vying for a couple open supervisor positions at my company and both managers had told me I was their top pick, but last minute I was asked to decline those positions in exchange for equal title/pay/grade level and remain in my current role, at least long enough to complete a large project I've been working on. In essence, it means better pay and I appear more qualified, on paper, but in truth, nothing much will change about my job. I have asked to be able to attend management training courses, as they are made available, so that I will, at least, be able to beef up those skills in some way.
So to celebrate, here are some more pictures of the shawl. They still aren't quite what I want, picture wise. I'm hoping to actually don my handmade apparel, to get a better picture, sometime soon. But these are definitely better than the blocking pictures.
This picture really shows the stitch pattern well, but doesn't really show the color, because it's backlit.
This is the best representation of the color, but is a little soft in the details.
I see it worn over a black dress, on a mild spring night.
Beautiful! Congratulations!
Congratulations on the "promotion"! The shawl looks really pretty-can't wait to see the formal photo!

Congratulations! And, the shawl is just beautiful--I love the colors, and you did a great job. (Obviously in more ways than one!)
Sweet!
Wow! best use of handspun I've seen in a long time...really gorgeous!
Your shawl looks beautiful, great job! And congrats on the job.
beautiful and congrats on the job!
Yay for promotion and yay for the shawl. The colours are truely beautiful.
Congrats on the promotion and the shawl is beautiful too.
congrats on the upgrade, sounds like a pretty good situation. And, of course, the shawl is stunning. I can't beleive you made it from handspun, it's lovely and you should be so proud.
Or a lovely little natural colored linen dress would be nice under it.
Yeah on the job. It is nice to feel loved when you work so hard.
Congratulations!
And the shawl is truly lovely.
Wow. How wonderful to have both great news and a great shawl. This calls for double the celebration.
Congratulations, Marnie!!!
And the shawl looks fantastic! I'd love to see a pic of you wearing it on that nice spring night. I think your black dress idea is perfect with that color.
Congrat's again!
Congratulations!
The shawl looks extraordinary! On the contrary, I saw it over a lovely french grey or cream colored summer dress. To each their own, I suppose.

OMG, the shawl is so beautiful. Yes, I see it the same, or also see it draped across a chair, waiting for your spring night while giving Panda MORE belly rubs!!!! I'm catching up on some blogreading, can she get a belated belly rub from me? :)

And the shawl? Ahhh, just beautiful! I love that lace pattern too! Just so compliments the color and the fiber.
Congrats on that promo!
Love the shawl!
Oh please, PLEASE Marnie: could you post the pattern? Or if you only have a few graphs, a quick design, a few notes, and no time to write it down correctly, would you just email it to me? I am longing to knit such a shawl. And yours is my favourite.
Congratulations
