Almost finished my chanson en crochet

This lovely shawl is called Chanson en crochet.
The free pattern info and errata can be found
here.
 I decided to block it before finishing it

so that I could gauge if it needed to be lengthened.

This yarn (Patons SWS in Natural Berry) is beautiful

 but it is a nightmare to rip out.

The colour is off in the photo...it is, in person
a lovely deep ruby red.
