Oh, I have finished the blocking of this shawls. It is beautiful and lovely, isn't it. The yarn is 100% acrylic and very fine (as thin as 2 ply). It is very soft (as soft as the baby yarn) and warm, very suitable for the Hong Kong weather and in an air-conditioned room.
I am now thinking what my next project is : a cotton cardigan, another lace shawl (a circle one), a sock....... So many things want to knit. Should take out all my stash and check.

Beautiful, and you blocked out the pointy edges so well too. I keep reading that acrylic yarn cannot be blocked, but yours turned out just great. Thanks for letting me know that acrylic is suitable for a shawl. I have been thinking about knitting one with the softest acrylic (Sirdar Snuggly) I can find.
Your shawl looks certainly beautiful! And what a nice blue shade.
I always thought acrylic yarn couldn't suit for this shawl but your FBS is really charming !
Fabulous shawl! I love the color you picked, makes me feel like knitting another fbs.
Its so beautiful. I've should have knitted mine bigger. Yours looks just the right size.
Wow, yours is so nice and soft! I finished mine over the easter break too but a smaller version.
Your Flower Basket Shawl is Beautiful...
That must have taken a long time to make...
