My niece Gina was married last weekend. Besides being my niece, she is also my god daughter, so I decided to do something special that I did not do for my other nieces when they got married (sorry Katie and Jacki). So I decided to weave her a shawl for her wedding, honeymoon and special occasions. It was promised to her at her shower - she received a picture, and it was delivered to her at her wedding rehearsal.

Gina Modeling Shawl

The shawl was woven in 100% silk. For my weaving friends, I used 20/2 bombay silk from Treenway silk.
The pattern was called Earl's Canvas from "The Best of Weavers's Twill Thrills". It is an M and W twill weave. It was selected for two reasons.
- I liked the use of M for marriage and W for wedding
- The design reminded me of the bodice of her wedding gown.
I was very pleased with how it turned out. The pictures do not do it justice but it felt wonderful.
