Midsummer's night shawl

So my new niece Emma has arrived safe and sound.  The shawl I'm working on for her mom has just made it through the third repeat of the pattern.  So at least 3 more repeats of the pattern and then the edging, though given the height of my sister-in-law I may add a few more repeats to give her plenty of length.  What do you all think?

The shawl is growing!

So I decided to go with the Midsummer's Night shawl by Lisa Naskrent.  It.... Is.... Georgeous!!!  Perfect interplay of the colors in the Schaeffer Andrea yarn in Greenjeans.  The pattern is elegant and easy to memorize.  I highly recommend it if you want to crochet a shawl.  But tell me, what do you all think? 
Also, I whipped up my first crocheted toy.  A bunny that I felted, though I did make a mistake of felting him after I stuffed him.
Hope all are well!
