Finished shawl...at last

Just a quick post to say I finally finished the shawl I was crocheting for my stepmum's birthday. I can safely post about it now as my parents went to Italy today. I hope she likes it! Here are a couple of (bad) photos:

Pancakes likes the shawl (and anything made of wool)!

I also made a hat which only took a couple of days, as an antidote to the shawl.
