All Bound off!!!

I've officially finished my shawl for the Design Your Own Shawl class!!!  Here is some info on the shawl:
 
Yarn - Spud & Chloe Fine 80% wool + 20% silk
Total yarn used -  98 g (374 yds)
Needles - Size 4, 40 inch circular (need at least a 32 inch, but that might be pushing it)

Charts involved:
Set up Chart - knit once
Chart A - knit once
Chart B - 5 times
Chart C - 3 times

Beyond achieving the monumental task of binding off, I've also already woven in the ends and it is currently soaking in the washing machine! Don't worry, I'm only using the washing machine as a place to soak it - the machine is not on and will not be turning on or agitating.  If it did, then that would be tragic and my shawl would potentially be ruined!



I think I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out.  I knit it from the charts and I didn't catch any mistakes in them.  I have yet to write up the written instructions and the pattern, but I'm going to be working on that this week (though I think that I said that last week!).
