I finished knitting this a long time ago, but only last week finished blocking and sewing in ends. This is the Freya Shawl designed by Renate Haeckler, a free pattern on Ravelry HERE.
The pattern is for a 3/4 circle shaped shawl, but I did fewer repeats to make a half circle so my yarn would last for more rows. I knitted until I ran out of yarn, but I don't remember how many rows short of completing the pattern I was. It came out a good size though, about 28 inches deep after blocking to a lacy effect.
The yarn was hand spun by me on a drop spindle using some slightly variegated Romney roving, about 9 ounces.

Absolutely spectacular! I'm a long-time knitter, but would never undertake something like this! Much too intimidating! Congratulations for blocking and sewing in the ends so you can finally wear it and have others admire it! Just magnificent!
