I was very lucky that the yarn I used striped the Shawl perfectly. Here is the label from the yarn I bought at Joann's:
It it a Boucle yarn and I used a J hook.
Here are two views of my finished Shawl:
If you are a beginner, I would not recommend using a Boucle for this project, as you might be able to see your stitches better with a smoother yarn. If you do use this yarn and you plan on crocheting in public as I did, I would recommend that you roll this yarn into a ball before you leave, as it had a tendency to tangle, in the close confines of an airplane, since it was such a large ball of yarn!! (11 ounces).
I can't wait to try this Shawl in another yarn that is not a Boucle, so I can really see the stitch definition in it. I also think that because I know the pattern stitch so well now, it will go even faster!

It's gorgeous!
That turned out beautifully!! Your daughter will love it - I know I would! :o)
Looks fantastic!!
How beautiful, I have some of the same yarn and have been waiting for the right yarn to make my first Serifinia shawl and have wondered how it would look in this yarn, but how many balls did you use to complete it? I only have one that I managed to scavenge from JoAnns before they ran out.
It looks great! I've been using a lot of boucle lately, too. I am ready to use some plain old yarn, now. I love the colors you used. :)
I really love the colors! Great job!
