Age of Brass and Steam - Lakeside

I've now tried to start my Mom's birthday present three times. First, the shawl that I chose was going far too slow (the weight of the yarn was wrong, so I set it aside). Second time around, I managed to choose an appropriate pattern and a yarn that was in the perfect colorway, but unfortunately it contained 50% wool (a fiber she can't wear). So I've started again, using the same pattern (The Age of Brass and Steam pattern) and a 100% acrylic yarn in a deep, midnight blue. I'm midway through the second repeat of the stockinette stitch pattern. Pictures to follow.
