Butterfly Shawl WIP

My SIL commissioned me to make a thread shawl for her best friend. I decided to make the butterfly shawl from Annie's Favorite Designer Fashions book. Here is the butterfly motif:




I tried to follow the basic shawl pattern but couldn't get it right. I decided to use the pattern from Spring has Sprung Shawl but made it a little less "open". I'm still unsure if I should do the flower motifs as the pattern called for 64 flowers. That will be 64 loose ends to weave in! lol!
