1883 New York Times Shawl Finished at Last!

My New York Times Shawl (from an 1883 issue of the NYT) is finally blocked and finito!

It ended up at 41" x 16.5" when I blocked it, which makes a lovely large scarf or small shoulder wrap. To make a larger stole, you'd need about 1200-1300 yds of lace weight yarn. Free pattern available using the link above (Ravelry users can download the .pdf file; my ID is lavs)

Just one question- what sort of cast on did you use?
