What to do…
…now that I’m done with Moth I feel lost…forlorn…without purpose. What to knit? What to spin? What to do? I guess I could clean something since the house is definitely starting to resemble a pigsty. Or, I could just show you prom photos ;o)
Roger’s Dad (aka ‘Pa’) drove them in his ‘48 Ford - which just happened to match her dress. I think they had the coolest ride there and I’m pretty certain she had the only hand-knit shawl (made with yarn dyed specially for her by Auntie J) ;o)

Oh my! it’s beautiful! And you finished it just in time for it to be worn. Congratulations on all your hard work.
May 18th, 2007 at 11:06 pm
oh my—that is a gorgeous moth! i LOVE the color—it looks so sheer and delicate and is just the right size. it looks amazing on her! will she let you borrow it?
May 18th, 2007 at 11:07 pm
and ps: maybe you just need another shawl project to console you (wink!)
May 18th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
She’s beautiful! What a wonderful present to such a memorable event.
P.S.? I agree with Anne, I think you might need another shawl to console you over the finishing of the moth.

sweet .. maybe you can knit dad a bitchin’ car cover. with stretchy bottom rim to stay on tight … can you get it done for father’s day ??
J.K. good work welcome home hunny
May 18th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
You did a fantastic job! They look great, and the ride’s not half-bad either.
A bitchin’ car cover - HA!
May 18th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Wow! The shawl is amazing, and those two must have been the most stylin’ couple at the prom!
Good job!

That is so cool - I love the picture of them both in front of the car. It is so wild that her dress and his tie co-ordinate with the car.
The shawl is stunning - and so is your little girl! Congrats Dobby.
Can’t wait to see what you work on next.
May 19th, 2007 at 6:14 am
Aww, they look gorgeous as does the shawl!
May 19th, 2007 at 6:21 am
Did you tear up? She looks beautiful — and so does Moth. Great job on both the shawl and the kid!
May 19th, 2007 at 6:23 am
Did he choose that tie to match her dress? Too cute but I would have worn Wayfarers!
The shawl is fabulous. Bravo!
May 19th, 2007 at 6:25 am
Beautiful shawl! I hope this gift buys you a permanent moratorium on door slamming and at least a one-month reprieve from any eye-rolling. She owes you!
May 19th, 2007 at 6:25 am
The shawl is stunning and I love how the car matched the accent colors on their clothes! Hope they had fun and hope you got some well deserved sleep.
May 19th, 2007 at 6:41 am
Holy crap!
How cool, both moth and car!!!
May 19th, 2007 at 7:21 am
The shawl made the outfit. And would you look at that gorgeous hair!!!

Gorgeous! I think it was a wonderful addition to her Prom Gown. I love it! What a way to be driven to the Prom. I hope she had a glorious night. Congrats to you!
May 19th, 2007 at 8:45 am
The shawl came out great and Dobby looks beautiful! What a cool car to drive to the prom in!
May 19th, 2007 at 9:21 am
Stunning. I can’t believe you did it in time
May 19th, 2007 at 9:44 am
She looks stunning in her Moth- nice job Jess! Love how the pink in their clothes matches the car. Great photo shoot!
May 19th, 2007 at 10:04 am
I knew you’d do it.
And oh, the finished shawl is fabulous! It’s a great size–not too huge (mine is actually a bit too big for me) but definitely wrap-up-able. 
I hope she treasures it.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:20 am
How cool!!! Your daughter is beautiful, as is the dress, shawl, everything! What a great memory for her.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Beautiful! The dress, shawl, car, it looks like a night to remember!
May 19th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
She looks beautiful! And what a cool ride to prom!
And the shawl, of course, is fantastic.
May 19th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
I can’t believe how beautiful it is. It made me all teary. She and Bev both had me wrapped around them!
May 19th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Beautiful! Both the girl and the shawl, etc. ^_^ Congrats on finishing it.
May 19th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Ah! So beautiful. What a wonderful rite of passage…oh, and the prom is a big deal too!
Congrats, girl.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
what a sweet shawl, and ride! Hope she had a great time.
May 19th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
The shawl is gorgeous and Dobby looks beautiful. I hope they had a good time!
May 20th, 2007 at 9:27 am
Ooooh, look at them! She looks lovely!!! (Not a bit of sass showing that night! ha)
That shawl is gorgeous! Great job! On the daughter too!
Prom….sigh.
And WHY would you want to clean again??
(I am getting sucked into a vortex and have been thinking about CROCHETED SQUARES!!! Imagine?? This peer pressure thing is too much!!)

May 20th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Beautiful!
May 20th, 2007 at 11:23 am
So beautiful! The shawl, and the girl, looks great!
May 20th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
What a beautiful shawl! And great pictures of a night to remember. I love her dress and she looks so beautiful! Thanks for the comment on my blog and it was great meeting you too!
May 20th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
The moth is breath takingly beautiful. Dobby looks just amazing too. She has lovely hair. Is that the infamous whipping boy? The car and dress matching are just too perfect for words.
May 20th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
Wow! Just beautiful! (and the shawl isn’t so bad either). Just kidding, it looks like the whole package couldn’t have been any more perfect. Hope YOU survived prom night
May 21st, 2007 at 8:49 am
It looks awesome! and she couldn’t be prettier.
May 21st, 2007 at 9:41 am
They are both so beautiful!!
May 21st, 2007 at 10:38 am
The shawl looks gorgeous! The car matching the dress is unbelievable! She looks so pretty. I’m guessing that’s Whipping Boy? He looks nice too. It takes a real man to wear pink.
May 21st, 2007 at 10:41 am
It’s absolutely beautiful! And the Mom of the Year Award goes to……
Dobby looks very pretty, as well.
May 21st, 2007 at 11:53 am
The FO is beautiful, and so is the shawl!
Well… I guess we’re all WIPs, come to that. That makes the completion of splendid knitwear all the sweeter, especially when it will be worn by such a great model on such a grand occasion.
I want that car.
May 21st, 2007 at 4:21 pm
Dobby, the car, the shawl, the loving mama who knit the shawl…gorgeous all around.
May 21st, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Oh, it is just beautiful! Dobby looks so pretty! And that car rocks! Ya did good Mom.
May 21st, 2007 at 10:55 pm
Gorgeous shawl!
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 am
Your daughter and the shawl look absolutely beautiful together! Hope she had a great night.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Aw, she looks so beautiful–lovely shawl! And, damn, she had the coolest prom wheels I’ve ever seen!!
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:58 pm
That was so totally worth it. It’s stunning on her.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:07 am
[...] day - and having several panic attacks - I found the Wing of the Moth shawl that I knit for Dobby last year for Prom. Why was I searching, you ask? Because Prom is next Friday and I was told she *had* to have it. [...]
