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.
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?
and ps: maybe you just need another shawl project to console you (wink!)
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
You did a fantastic job! They look great, and the ride’s not half-bad either. ;)
A bitchin’ car cover – HA!
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.
Aww, they look gorgeous as does the shawl!
Did you tear up? She looks beautiful — and so does Moth. Great job on both the shawl and the kid!
Did he choose that tie to match her dress? Too cute but I would have worn Wayfarers!
The shawl is fabulous. Bravo!
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!
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.
Holy crap!
How cool, both moth and car!!!
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!
The shawl came out great and Dobby looks beautiful! What a cool car to drive to the prom in!
Stunning. I can’t believe you did it in time :)
She looks stunning in her Moth- nice job Jess! Love how the pink in their clothes matches the car. Great photo shoot!
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.
How cool!!! Your daughter is beautiful, as is the dress, shawl, everything! What a great memory for her.
Beautiful! The dress, shawl, car, it looks like a night to remember!
She looks beautiful! And what a cool ride to prom!
And the shawl, of course, is fantastic.
I can’t believe how beautiful it is. It made me all teary. She and Bev both had me wrapped around them!
Beautiful! Both the girl and the shawl, etc. ^_^ Congrats on finishing it.
Ah! So beautiful. What a wonderful rite of passage…oh, and the prom is a big deal too! ;)
Congrats, girl.
what a sweet shawl, and ride! Hope she had a great time. :-)
The shawl is gorgeous and Dobby looks beautiful. I hope they had a good time!
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! :D
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!!)
xo
Beautiful!
So beautiful! The shawl, and the girl, looks great!
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!
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.
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
It looks awesome! and she couldn’t be prettier.
They are both so beautiful!!
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.
It’s absolutely beautiful! And the Mom of the Year Award goes to……
Dobby looks very pretty, as well.
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.
Dobby, the car, the shawl, the loving mama who knit the shawl…gorgeous all around. :)
Oh, it is just beautiful! Dobby looks so pretty! And that car rocks! Ya did good Mom.
Gorgeous shawl!
Your daughter and the shawl look absolutely beautiful together! Hope she had a great night. :)
Aw, she looks so beautiful–lovely shawl! And, damn, she had the coolest prom wheels I’ve ever seen!!
That was so totally worth it. It’s stunning on her.
[...] 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. [...]
