The little guardian angels are finally finished--overskirts have been stitched, bouquets filled with French knot flowers, and fringe added to their shawls.
I'd always planned on keeping the fringe looped, rather than cut, and therefore needed to insure the lengths of the loops would be uniform. My favorite tool for this is one of DH's collar stays. If you work from the bottom tip of the shawl upward, the collar stay serves two purposes. It not only keeps each loop the same length, but also keeps the previously worked loop out of the way of the next stitch being knotted.
Tomorrow the angels will be sent to the finisher, where they'll be lightly padded, backed with velveteen, and receive cording on the side seams.

They look fantastic and I'm sure they'll be much loved
I love their shawls!! This is wonderful - amazing how two of the same design can look so individually different! DANG you're good. These are warm, cozy, and comfortable Guardian Angels. They'll do their job.
Love the little angels!
