Hayden was over last night, and I got another inch done on the shawl. She has a much smaller frame than I do (like my mother-in-law) so I had her try it on, and I think I’m almost done! I’m shooting for 1 1/2 more repeats, and then an edging. I’m not quite sure which edging I’m going to use, as I don’t really like the one in the pattern. It seems a bit heavy.
I’m anxious to get back to the uptown boot socks, and thinking about it, I have no idea where they are. Crap.

Make sure you consider what blocking will do. I recently underestimated it in a shawl I was making. I wanted it big, but …. ah…… Omar the tent maker would be proud of it now.

It is looking beautiful! I can’t wait to see the finished thing :o) I haven’t gone to the dark side yet…I haven’t done any lace or shawl knitting but I’ve got the yarn and will be soon. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s blocked! Woohoo!

Pretty, pretty shawl! Looks like an interesting construction, looking forward to see it finished!

oh thats pretty – i’m soo proud of you. And to think I taught you how to cast on left handed all those years ago :0). I’m sorry about your neighbor. That’s really sad.
We’re leaving for our cruise tomorow. Yay!
Love you
