Before Blocking: Valente

I haven't blocked it yet, but even so, I am very pleased with my completed Valente shawl (Ravelry link), which I made using the Infinity Fade gradient set from Fiber Optic. Lovely, lovely yarn, and works so well with this pattern:

Isn't it pretty? 

The magic of short rows. It fits nicely around my shoulders, down to the elbows or close to, and stays in place well, too. We'll see when I get around to blocking it, but it's very wearable as is!
