So, when Carrie found out she would be able to sell it herself, she asked me to knit a sample for her. She sent me the yarn and I started knitting on it the weekend we met up in Phoenix.
I didn't get the chance to block before I sent it for her photoshoot.
Here's a close up of the body of the shawl.

Raindrops on Roses by Irishgirlieknits
Madelinetosh Sock in Vermillion (a hard to photograph red)
US 5 needles
I was a bit worried that I would run out of yarn so the last 4 rows were knit with a size 4, then I bound off with a size 5. Figures, I didn't need to as I had 4 oz. leftover. It was an easy pattern to knit. I did use a ton of stitchmarkers for the edging, that's the only way I can make sure I don't make a mistake on lace.
No mods....well except for the needle downsizing for a few rows. Great use of sock yarns!
Now to knit up my own ;)

Very beautiful I love the color yarn you used.
I'm always, always with the stitch markers for any kind of patterning too. Why risk it, eh! Very pretty pattern and it looks pretty simple til the edging. Nice job :0)
