Whew I made it. I was to leave my house at 5:45 to pick dh up from work and head to Vancouver. I finished the shawl at 4:30. We drove until 11:30 and then stopped for dinner and a nights rest. Next morning we headed back on the road arriving in Vancouver at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Fine gold mylar was randomly added to the warp which was Orlec in a Champagne colour (the perfect match to the dress). The border and double happiness symbol was woven using the Theo Moorman technique. Since I wanted the double happiness symbol to stand out, I added an embroidery stitch around the outline in a double thread - the thread for the pattern area was also doubled. The shawl had a beautiful drape and came in handy with the cool wind.
